1. You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst. You
shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way. You shall speak
your words in foreign lands and all will understand. You shall see the face
of God and live.
R. Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow me, and I will give
you rest.
2. Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs. Blest are you
that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh. And if wicked tongues insult
and hate you all because of me, blessed, blessed are you
Chorus..
