    A hymn written by Joseph Irons, Zion's Hymns(in common meter).

    "Divine Convoy"

    1. When Israel pass'd the desert o'er,
    To Canaan's blest abode,
    Jehovah's angel went before,
    To mark the winding road.

    2. Thus when my soul left Satan's ground,
    And upwards sped its way,
    My Jesus stood engag'd, I found,
    To guide me night and day.

    3. O'er hills of guilt, through hosts of foes,
    I press towards the crown;
    No thorns can hurt, for Jesus goes
    Before, to tread them down.

    4. Not Sinai's height nor Jordan's deeps,
    My soul shall terrify,
    "The angel of the cov'nant" keeps
    His saints, with watchful eye.

    5. With such a Convoy, such a Friend,
    And such a crown in view,
    Though foes and fiends, the road attend,
    My journey I'll pursue.

    6. Jehovah-Jesus has declar'd
    Of all his chosen race,
    He'll bring them to the place prepar'd,
    To see his lovely face.
