The way to Emmaus have trod;

And some stand on the Orient plains;

And some upon the mount of God!

4 While over all, and under all,

The Master’s eye, the Master’s arm,

Have led in paths we have not known,

Yet kept us from the touch of harm.

5 One year of golden days and deeds

Of gracious growth, of service sweet;

And now, beside the shore again,
