To shine o’er all the untried way

Appointed for these tender feet

Ere they may walk the golden street;

Whate’er the path Thy love assign,

Hold fast this little hand in Thine.

I dare not say for this young heart

So much of earthly bliss impart;

From thine it caught its earliest thrill,

Each throb but answers to Thy will,

So in Thy tender love I rest—
