From God Shall Naught Divide Me

From God shall naught divide me, For He is true for aye And on my path will guide me, Who else should often stray. His right hand holdeth me; For me He truly careth, My burdens ever beareth Wherever I may be. 2. When man's help and affection Shall unavailing prove, God grants me His protection And shows His pow'r and love. He helps in ev'ry need, From sin and shame redeems me, From chains and bonds reclaims me, Yea, e'en from death I'm freed. 3. God shall be my Reliance In sorrow's darkest night; Its dread I bid defiance When He is at my right. I unto Him commend My body, soul, and spirit They are His own by merit All's well then at the end.

5. Oh, praise Him, for He never Forgets our daily need; Oh, blest the hour whenever To Him our thoughts can speed; Yea, all the time we spend Without Him is but wasted, Till we His joy have tasted, The joy that hath no end. 6. Yea, when the world shall perish With all its pride and power, Whatever worldlings cherish Shall vanish in that hour. But though in death they make The deepest grave our cover, When there our sleep is over, Our God will us awake. 8. What though I here must suffer Distress and trials sore, I merit ways still rougher; And yet there is in store For me eternal bliss, Yea, pleasures without measure, Since Christ is now my Treasure And shall be evermore.
