Pillar of Fire
Words: F. E. B.Music: F. E. Belden
1The angel of the Lord encampeth Round about us, round about us;
When dangers hover o'er our pathway, He will hide us, he will hide us,
We'll trust Jesus on our journey, God of Israel, God of Israel,
RefrainRound about the souls that fear him, Night and day. O pillar of
Round with in the mighty shadow Of his wing.
Till we reach the land of promise Just before. O fiery, cloudy
fire, pillar of cloud, Lead me, lead me every day! O
pillar, fiery, cloudy pillar,
pillar of fire, pillar of cloud, Lead me on my heavenly way!
fiery, cloudy pillar, O cloudy pillar,
