If you go, you can but perish;

Onward move where God can save.

Hasten ere you’re with the wicked,

Sinking ’neath the swelling wave.

God here meets his trusting people,

Makes a passage through the deep,

He’ll display his power in saving

Those who his commandments keep.

Why Art Thou Cast Down?

Why this dark depth of grief and gloom, this anguish and despair?
