73. The Angel-Guarded Way

1 Soul that trusteth in Jehovah
Let no trial bring dismay:
Thou art in an holy keeping,--
Thine's an angel-guarded way.

Chorus:
He hath given charge to keep thee,--
Sweep this world to sad decay,
Time be lost in years eternal,--
Thine's an angel-guarded way.

2 What tho' darkness thy pavilion,
Clouds like night enshroud thy day?
'Tis for thee a "weight of glory,"--
Thine's an angel-guarded way. [Chorus]

3 God's thy refuge and thy fortress,--
He will hold thy foes at bay.
Trusting Him no harm shall slay thee,--
Thine's an angel-guarded way. [Chorus]

4 Lift thine head, O soul in sorrow!
Sunlight o'er yon hills doth play,
God brights ev'ry day with promise,--
Thine's an angel-guarded way. [Chorus]
