Captain of Israels Host and Guide { Captain of Israels Host and Guide Ex 13:21 BROWNELL-Franz Joseph Haydn EISENACH-Johann Hermann Schein Captain of Israel's Host, and Guide } Captain of Israel's host, and guide Of all who seek the land above, Beneath thy shadow we abide, The cloud of thy protecting love; Our strength, thy grace; our rule, thy word; Our end, the glory of the Lord. By thine unerring Spirit led, We shall not in the desert stray; We shall not full direction need, Nor miss our providential way; As far from danger as from fear, While love, almighty love, is near.
