Certainly I Will Be with Thee

Certainly I will be with thee!

Father

I have found it true;

To Thy faith­ful­ness and mer­cy

I would set my seal anew.

All the year Thy grace hath kept me

Thou my help in­deed hast been

Marvelous the lov­ing­kind­ness

Every day and hour hath seen.

Certainly I will be with thee!

Let me feel it

Sav­ior dear

Let me know that Thou art with me

Very pre­cious

ve­ry near.

On this day of so­lemn paus­ing

With Thy­self all long­ing still

Let Thy par­don

let Thy pre­sence

Let Thy peace my spir­it fill.

Certainly I will be with thee!

Blessèd Spir­it

come to me

Rest up­on me

dwell with­in me

Let my heart Thy tem­ple be;

Thro’ the track­less year be­fore me

Holy One

with me abide!

Teach me

com­fort me

and calm me

Be my ev­er pre­sent guide.

Certainly I will be with thee!

Starry pro­mise in the night!

All un­cer­tain­ties

like sha­dows

Fade away be­fore its light.

Certainly I will be with thee!

He hath spok­en

I have heard!

True of old

and true this mo­ment

I will trust Je­ho­vah’s word.
