C.M. | |
1 | It is not with uncertain step We tread our desert way; A well-known voice has called us up To everlasting day – |
2 | The voice of Him who here has trod Alone the trackless way (And marked the road which leads to God) Where once we, lost, did stray. |
3 | He leaves us not alone to trace Our path across this waste; But leads us still with living grace, Homeward, whereto we haste. |
4 | See! open stands the heav’nly door, Whence glory shines below, To light the way He’s gone before, The coming bliss to show. |
5 | In patience then we tread the road – Our faith and courage tried– And trust the love that bears each load, Our hearts from grief to hide. |
