THE LAST JOURNEY.
"They two went on."—2 Kings ii. 6.
So far with me, no farther now,
Our journey all so brief is done;
Thou goest on thine unseen way,
And I must tread my path alone.
Our journey all so brief is done;
Thou goest on thine unseen way,
And I must tread my path alone.
"They two went on," and we have been
Through Bethel's plain and Jordan's flood;
Then one went back to serve and wait,
And one soared up to dwell with God.
Through Bethel's plain and Jordan's flood;
Then one went back to serve and wait,
And one soared up to dwell with God.
We two went on. Ah! not alone;
And though no car of light I see,
There walks with me the Holy One,—
And Christ the Living God with thee.
And though no car of light I see,
There walks with me the Holy One,—
And Christ the Living God with thee.
