Father of love, our Guide and Friend,
O lead us gently on,
Until life�s trial time shall end,
And heav�nly peace be won.

We know not what the path may be
As yet by us untrod;
But we can trust our all to Thee,
Our Father and our God.

If called, like Abraham�s child, to climb
The hill of sacrifice,
Some angel may be there in time;
Deliverance shall arise.

Or, if some darker lot be good,
O teach us to endure
The sorrow, pain or solitude,
That makes the spirit pure.

Christ by no flowery pathway came;
And we, His followers here,
Must do Thy will and praise Thy Name,
In hope, and love and fear.

And, till in Heav�n we sinless bow,
And faultless anthems raise,
O Father, Son, and Spirit, now,
Accept our feeble praise.
