554. Though we walk through this wilderness

1 Though we walk through this wilderness
God’s promise is our stay;
His goodness he will make to pass
Before us in the way.

2 Goodness, immortal and divine,
The bliss of endless day,
The Lord our God will make to pass
Before us in the way.

3 The boundless treasures of his grace,
He surely will display,
And all his goodness make to pass
Before us in the way.

4 [Though hosts of enemies rise up,
To fill us with dismay,
The Lord will make his goodness pass
Before us in the way.

5 To keep our eyes on Jesus fixed,
And there our hope to stay,
The Lord will make his goodness pass
Before us in the way.]

6 To make his saints his glory view,
And sing their cares away,
The Lord will make his goodness pass
Before them in the way.
