Family Hymn.

By E. W. Darling

KEEP us Lord, a little band, Traveling through a foreign land; Lead us lest we go astray, Cheer us on our dreary way.
We are all of feeble mold, Much we need thy sheltering fold From a wilderness of sin, Foes without and foes within.
When dismayed to thee we fly; Though there be no danger nigh, Yet vouchsafe to bow thine ear, Grant assurance from onr fear.
When we heedless march along, O'er the path where dangers throng, Still in love onr way prepare, Guard from ambush, pit, or snare.
May that peace which is from thee, Keep from war, and tnmult free, And in nnity and love Each to each a blessing prove.
Should it be our lot to part, Still may we be one in heart, Hoping, striving to attain, Where we ne'er shall part again.
In the final trying hour, When the tempter comes with power, Gird we all our armor on, Gain a victory and a crown.
Keep us Lord, a little band, Traveling to the promised land. When onr tronbles here are past May we all reach home at last.
