Lyics

Through all this life's eventful road,

Fain would I walk with thee, my God,

And find thy presence light around,

And every step on holy ground.



Each blessing would I trace to thee,

In every grief, thy mercy see,

And through the paths of duty move,

Conscious of thine encircling love.



And when the angel Death stands by,

Be this my strength, that thou art nigh;

and this my joy, that I shall be

With those who dwell in light with thee.
