It’s been a bit since I’ve shared a Sabbath Rest hymn. Since we’re just starting out on our twenty-first year of life on the road (and anticipating some tweaks to that in the months ahead), we continue to cling to the promise that our God will go before us, and guide us by his presence.
Our God will go before us
And guide us by his presence
What confidence this promise is
We will never walk alone
Through unknown paths, through shadows
Our hearts fear not tomorrow
For every step his faithfulness
Is the truth that lights our way
Our God will go before us
The Lord of Hosts is with us
O praise the one who leads us on
For his grace will bring us home
Though evil forms against us
All heaven will defend us
The gates of hell shall not prevail
For the battle is the Lord’s
Our God will go before us
The Lord of Hosts is with us
O praise the one who leads us on
For his grace will bring us home
Now send us with your presence,
And lead us on to heaven,
Where songs of sorrow strain no more
And our every breath is praise
O let our every breath be praise
Our God will go before us
The Lord of Hosts is with us
O praise the one who leads us on
For his grace will bring us home
Our God will go before us
The Lord of Hosts is with us
O praise the one who leads us on
For his grace will bring us home
