1. Noah’s ark long drifted
On the surging flood,
But with eyes uplifted,
Trusted he in God.
When throughout life’s journey
Raging storms I see,
This shall be my comfort:
God is still with me.
2. Moses, brave and dauntless,
Crossed the sea to land,
Leading with him fearless
Hosts of covenant;
Thus resigned I’ll travel
Through the desert sea,
Trust my soul to Jesus;
God is still with me.
3. Jonah’s hour of trial
Led through night and fear;
Yet God showed with power
That His help was near.
Thus in all distresses
When by fear I’m tried,
Hope my heart possesses:
God is at my side!
4. Daniel’s den of lions
Teaches true and sure,
When on God depending,
We can feel secure.
So in all distresses
I can pray to Thee;
Faith my heart possesses;
God is still with me.
5. Three men in the furnace
Praised their God on high,
Stood their foes confounded,
Silenced scorn and lie.
In reproach and censure
I rest calm and free
On this blessed promise:
God is still with me.
6. Jesus’ death arena
And His cross and grave
Teach me wait serenely
God’s will sure and safe;
My support and pillar
And my gain is He,
My strong fort in terror;
God is still with me.
7. He broke Peter’s fetters,
Opened doors for Paul;
He will those deliver
Who trust Him in all.
So I’ll wander gladly,
Till my home I see,
And in Zion’s mansion,
God is still with me.
On the surging flood,
But with eyes uplifted,
Trusted he in God.
When throughout life’s journey
Raging storms I see,
This shall be my comfort:
God is still with me.
2. Moses, brave and dauntless,
Crossed the sea to land,
Leading with him fearless
Hosts of covenant;
Thus resigned I’ll travel
Through the desert sea,
Trust my soul to Jesus;
God is still with me.

Led through night and fear;
Yet God showed with power
That His help was near.
