The hands that formed Adam from dust
Reach out to those who in Him trust;
They touch the ones who at His feet
Find gratitude and mercy meet.
The wings of the Almighty hide
Closely those who seek His side;
The refuge of His strong embrace
Is ever their abiding place.
The face of Yahweh always is
Toward redeemed sinners who are His;
He shines as sunshine on their days,
Makes even nights a time to praise.
His Word – how can we say enough -
When life is easy or it's tough,
Leaning on His Book our staff,
We journey on the pilgrim path.
From morningtime to evenfall,
Winter, spring, summer, fall:
God walks with us and hears each call.
This Faithful One, then, love o'er all.
Honor Him by drinking deep;
Living Water's blessings keep
Daily helping us His sheep,
His promises gemstones we reap.
And when the pilgrim way is o'er
We'll see the glory of our Lord;
All He is we shall adore
Before His throne forevermore.
