Rejoice

In heavenly love abiding,

No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,

My heart may low be laid,

But God is round about me,

And can I be dismayed?

Whatever He may guide me,

No fear shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing shall I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.

Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure,
My path to life is free;

My Savior is my treasure,
And he will walk with me.
