Christ of the Upward Way

Verse 1

Christ of the upward way, my Guide divine, Where Thou hast set Thy feet, may I place mine; And move and march wherever Thou hast trod, Keeping face forward up the hill of God.

Verse 2

Give me the heart to hear Thy voice and will, That without fault or fear I may fulfill Your purpose with a glad and holy zest, Like one who would not bring less than the best.

Verse 3

Christ of the upward way, my Guide divine, Where Thou hast set Thy feet, may I place mine; And when Your last call comes, serene and clear, Calm may my answer be, “Lord, I am here.”
