Numbers 11:23: No, Lord; it cannot shorten'd be

No, Lord; it cannot shorten'd be.
That hand which plagued the' Egyptian race,
Which brought Thy people through the sea,
Which led them o'er the wilderness;
Which hath to us so often given
Drink from the rock, and bread from heaven!

That hand hath open'd wide mine eyes:
That hand, which now by faith I see,
Measures the floods, and spans the skies,
And grasps the winds, — and covers me!
It brings the bHnd through ways unknown,
It holds; it Lifts me to a throne.

Kept by that hand, I cannot fear
Lest earth or hell should pluck me thence
I trample on temptation near,
Supported by Omnipotence,
Possess'd of boundless power Divine,
Of boundless love — for Christ is mine!
