The Rest Of The Way

"Thou hast been my help"-Ps. 63:7. "As I was.. .1 will be"-Josh. 1:5.

O fathomless mercy! O infinite grace!
With humble thanksgiving the path I retrace!
Thou never hast failed me, my strength and my stay;
To whom should I turn for the rest of the way?

Through dangers, through darkness, by day and by night,
Thou ever hast guided, and guided aright.
In Thee have I trusted, and cheerfully lay
My hand in Thy hand for the rest of the way.

Thy cross all my refuge; Thy blood all my plea-
None other I need, blessed Jesus, but Thee!
I fear not the shadows at close of the day
For Thou wilt go with me the rest of the way.
