lily is well known.
HE LEADTH NE.
The way is dark my child! but leads to light.
1 would not always have thee walk by sight;
My dealings now thou canst not understand,
I meant it so: but l will take thy hand.
And through the gloom
Lead safely Home my child.
The Day goes fast my child!
But is the night,
Darker to me than day:
In me Is light!
Keep close to me and every spectral hand
OF fear shall vanish
! will take thy land and through the night
Lead up to light my child.
The path is rough my child;
But oh! how sweet will be the rest,
For weary pilgrims meet,
When thou shalt reach
The borders of that land
To which l lead-thee
AS l take thy a
And safe and blest
With me shall rest my child.
