Along my earthly way

Verse 1

Along my earthly way, How many clouds are spread! Darkness, with scarce one cheerful ray, Seems gathering o'er my head.

Verse 2

Yet, Father, thou art Love; Oh, hide not from my view! But when I look, in prayer, above, Appear in mercy through.

Verse 3

My pathway is not hid; Thou knowest all my need; And I would do as Israel did,-- Follow where thou wilt lead.

Verse 4

Lead me, and then my feet Shall never, never stray; But safely I shall reach the seat Of happiness and day.

Verse 5

And, oh, from that bright throne I shall look back, and see,-- The path I went, and that alone, Was the right path for me.
