They strayed in desert's pathless way, No city found for rest, No city found for rest. 3 Their weary soul within them faints When thirst and hunger press; In trouble then they cried to God, He saved them from distress, He saved them from distress. 4 He made the way before them straight, Himself became their guide, That they might to a city go Wherein they might abide, Wherein they might abide. 5 O that men would Jehovah praise For all his kindness shown, And for his works so wonderful Which he to men makes known! Which he to men makes known! 6 Because the longing soul by him With food is satisfied; The hungry soul that looks to him With goodness is supplied, With goodness is supplied. Amen.
