1 THAT man no guard or weapons needs
Whose heart the blood of Jesus knows ;
But safe may pass, if duty leads.
Through burning sands or mountain snows.
2 Released from guilt, he feels no fear ;
Redemption is his shield and tower ;
lie sees his Saviour always near
To help in every trying hour.
3 Though I am weak, and Satan strong,
And often to assault me tries,
When Jesus is my shield and song,
Abash d the wolf before me flies.
4 His love possessing, I am blest,
Secure whatever change may come :
Whether I go to east or west,
With him I still shall be at home.
5 If placed beneath the northern pole,
Though winter reigns with rigour there,
His gracious beams would cheer my soul,
And make a spring throughout the year.
6 Or if the desert s sun-burnt soil
My lonely dwelling e er should prove,
His presence would support my toil,
Whose smile is life whose voice is love.

He led them by a right Way.—Psalm cvii, 7.
1 WHEN Israel was from Egypt freed,
The Lord, who brought them out,
Help d them in every time of need,
But led them round about,
2 To enter Canaan soon they hoped ;
But quickly changed their mind,
When the Red sea their passage stopp d.
And Pharaoh inarch d behind.
