Captain of Israel's Host

46 Captain of Israel's Host

1 Captain of Israel's host, and guide
   Of all who seek the land 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.

2 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.
                         Charles Wesley

Unusually for a Charles Wesley hymn, there are only two verses and I could find no variations.
