"I AM with thee!" He hath said it In His truth and tender grace; Sealed the promise, grandly spoken, With how many a mighty token, Of His love and faithfulness. He is with thee! -- In thy dwelling, Shielding thee from fear of ill; All thy burdens kindly bearing, For thy dear ones gently caring, Guarding, keeping, blessing still. He is with thee! -- In thy service He is with thee "certainly," Filling with the Spirit's power, Giving in the needing hour His own messages by thee. He is with thee! -- With thy spirit, With thy lips, or with thy pen; In the quiet preparation, In the heart-bowed congregation, Nevermore alone again! He is with thee! -- With thee always, All the nights and all the days; Never failing, never frowning, With His loving-kindness crowning, Tuning all thy life to praise. He is with thee! -- Thine own Master, Leading, loving to the end; Brightening joy and lightening sorrow, All to-day, yet more to-morrow, King and Saviour, Lord and Friend. He is with thee! -- Yes, forever, Now, and through eternity; Then with Him forever dwelling, Thou shalt share His joys excelling, Thou with Christ, and Christ with thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE POPLAR FIELD by WILLIAM COWPER SONNET: 14.
