|
<p>My faith, it is an oaken staff,<br>
|
|
The traveler’s well loved aid;<br>
|
|
My faith, it is a weapon stout,<br>
|
|
The soldier’s trusty blade,<br>
|
|
I’ll travel on, and still be stirred,<br>
|
|
By silent thought or social word;<br>
|
|
By all my perils undeterred,<br>
|
|
A soldier pilgrim staid.</p>
|
|
<p>I have a Guide, and in His steps<br>
|
|
When travelers have trod,<br>
|
|
Whether beneath was flinty rock<br>
|
|
Or yielding grassy sod,<br>
|
|
They cared not, with force unspent,<br>
|
|
Unmoved by pain, they onward went,<br>
|
|
Unstayed by pleasures, still they bent<br>
|
|
Their zealous course to God.</p>
|
|
<p>My faith, it is an oaken staff,<br>
|
|
O let me on it lean!<br>
|
|
My faith, it is a trusty sword,<br>
|
|
May falsehood find it keen!<br>
|
|
Thy Spirit, Lord, to me impart,<br>
|
|
O make me what Thou ever art,<br>
|
|
Of patient and courageous heart,<br>
|
|
As all true saints have been.</p>
