1 Praise our great and gracious Lord, call upon his holy Name; raising hymns in glad accord, all his mighty acts proclaim: how he leads his chosen unto Canaan's promised land, how the word we have heard firm and changeless still shall stand.
2 God has given the cloud by day, given the moving fire by night; guides his Israel on their way from the darkness into light. God it is who grants us sure retreat and refuge nigh; light of dawn leads us on: 'tis the Dayspring from on high.
