OH WALK WITH GOD.

And Enoch walked with God.

1.

Oh walk with God, and thou shalt find

How he can charm thy way,

And lead thee with a quiet mind

Into his perfect day.

His love shall cheer thee, like the dew

That bathes the drooping flower,

That love is every morning new,

Nor fails at evening’s hour.

2.

Oh walk with God, and thou with smiles

Shalt tread the way of tears,

His mercy every ill beguiles,

And softens all our fears.

No fire shall harm thee, if alas

Through fires He bid thee go;

Through waters, when thy footsteps pass,

They shall not overflow.

3.

Oh walk with God, while thou on earth,

With pilgrim steps must fare,

Content, to leave the world its mirth,

And claim no dwelling there.

A stranger, thou must seek a home,

Beyond the fearful tide,

And if to Canaan thou would’st come,

Oh who but God can guide!

4.

Oh walk with God, and thou shalt go

Down death’s dark vale in light,

And find thy faithful walk below

Hath reached to Zion’s height!

Oh walk with God, if thou would’st see

Thy pathway thither tend:

And lingering though thy journey be,

’Tis heaven and home at end!
