<p>Father of love, our Guide and Friend,<br>
O lead us gently on,<br>
Until life&#8217;s trial time shall end,<br>
And heav&#8217;nly peace be won.</p>
<p>We know not what the path may be<br>
As yet by us untrod;<br>
But we can trust our all to Thee,<br>
Our Father and our God.</p>
<p>Christ by no flow&#8217;ry pathway came;<br>
And we, His foll&#8217;wers here,<br>
Must do Thy will and praise Thy Name,<br>
In hope, and love, and fear.</p>
<p>And, till in heav&#8217;n we sinless bow,<br>
And faultless anthems raise,<br>
O Father, Son, and Spirit, now,<br>
Accept our feeble praise.</p>
