Salvation's Captain, And The Guide

by Charles Wesley


Tune: Solid Rock 8.8.8.8.8.8.


1 SALVATION'S Captain, and the Guide
Of all that seek the rest above,
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of Thy protecting love;
Our strength, Thy grace; our rule, Thy word;
Our end, the glory of our Lord.

2 Lord, by Thy Word and Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray,
Or light for our direction need,
Or lose, if dark and drear, our way;
Still kept from danger and from fear,
Since Thy almighty love is near.

This is heavily adapted from Wesley's original words;

Captain of Israel's host, and guide 
Of all who seek the rest above, 
Beneath Thy shadow we abide, 
The cloud of Thy protecting love; 
Our strength, Thy grace; our rule, thy word; 
Our end, the glory of the Lord. 

By thine unerring Spirit led, 
We shall not in the desert stray; 
We shall not full direction need, 
Nor miss our providential way; 
As far from danger as from fear, 
While love, almighty love, is near

Of course the tune is more commonly sung to "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less .. "
