While undisturbed the Christian waits,
And reads and writes and meditates.
Though in the dark ofttimes I stray,
The Lord shall light me on my way;
And to the city of the sun
Conduct me, when my journey’s done.
There by these eyes shall He be seen,
Who sojourned for me at an inn;
On Sion’s hill I those shall hail
From whom I parted in the vale.”
