No evil can befall me,
In Him I shall abide,
His angels keep watch o'er me,—
Are ever by my side.
Why should I faint or falter
With Love at hand to bless?
It leads me through the shadows,
And the seeming wilderness.
Sometimes my path seems darkened
By human grief and woe;
And then to His protection,—
That rock of strength, I go.—
I creep into Love's strong embrace
And safely there abide;
For error's waves are powerless
When Love doth face the tide.
Ah yes for God's Omnipotence
And Omnipresent power
Doth banish every sorrow,
And brighten every hour.
Then cling to Love, my brother,
When error's voice you hear,
For the sunshine of God's spirit
Will banish every fear.
