239: SALVATION'S Captain, and the Guide

239: SALVATION'S Captain, and the Guide

by C. Wesley (1707-1788)

1 SALVATION'S Captain, and the Guide
Of all that seek the rest above,
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of Thy protecting love;
Our strength, Thy grace; our rule, Thy word;
Our end, the glory of our Lord.

2 Lord, by Thy Word and Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray,
Or light for our direction need,
Or lose, if dark and drear, our way;
Still kept from danger and from fear,
Since Thy almighty love is near.
