"He led them forth by the right way"-Ps. 107:7.

O Lord, the clouds have gathered,
And darker seem to grow;
As thickly they o'ershadow
Our pathway here below,
We long to see some beacon ray;
O Lord, let us not miss the way!

The enemy, so subtle,
Delayed not to ensnare;
Would we had walked more humbly,
With sober watchful care;
Yet now Thy mercy we would pray;
Lord, grant we may not miss the way!

Thy Word, a light, is given,
A lamp unto our feet;
Oh, by its guidance grant us
Deliverance complete.
Apart from it, we can but stray;
O Lord, we would not miss the way!

With humbled, chastened spirit
Our steps we would retrace;
May we in all subjection,
Recipients of Thy grace,
Walk close with Thee, Lord, day by day;
Tis then we cannot miss the way.

The way where we may honor
Thy Name, to us most dear.
Oh, give us grace sufficient
While on our journey here,
To show Thy praise while yet we may,
Nor wander from Thy perfect way.
