A BENEDICTION.
187
Walk in the light, that every snare be taken
That would thy foot betray,
And own—the love that called hath ne'er forsaken
The wanderer astray.
That would thy foot betray,
And own—the love that called hath ne'er forsaken
The wanderer astray.
A little while to wait for His appearing,
And watch for Him to come.
And hear His voice of love, in tones endearing,
Welcome his loved ones home.
From faith to faith still follow Him, though weeping,
His lightest whisper heed;
Sow thou the grain, and leave to Him the reaping,
And trust to Him thy seed.
And watch for Him to come.
And hear His voice of love, in tones endearing,
Welcome his loved ones home.
From faith to faith still follow Him, though weeping,
His lightest whisper heed;
Sow thou the grain, and leave to Him the reaping,
And trust to Him thy seed.
Speak for the Master: He will guide thee duly
To wield the Spirit's sword.
Live for the Lord who bought thee: serve Him truly,
And He will bless thy word.
Thus all thy wealth in Christ the Lord possessing,
Thy heart shall rest above:
Take now His promise, with my parting blessing,
In token of His love.
To wield the Spirit's sword.
Live for the Lord who bought thee: serve Him truly,
And He will bless thy word.
Thus all thy wealth in Christ the Lord possessing,
Thy heart shall rest above:
Take now His promise, with my parting blessing,
In token of His love.
