Christ My Song - 729

I lean upon no broken reed - I know whom I have believed
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

“I know whom I have believed.”

1. I lean upon no broken reed,
  nor trust an untried Guide;
I know him and he knoweth me,
  he walketh by my side. (PDF - Midi)

2. I hold his hand, as on we walk,
  and still he holdeth mine;
it is a human hand I hold;
  it is a hand Divine.

3. “Hold thou me up,” is still my cry,
  as o'er the rugged road
of this my pilgrimage I move,
  that leads me nearer God.

4. Lord Jesus, thou the First and Last,
  oh, when wilt thou appear,
and bring the long, long looked-for dawn
  of the eternal year?

Horatius Bonar, "Until the Day break", 1890, 76-77.
