THE TRUE WAY.
We know that we’re stubborn and willful,And tho’ we have kindly been shownThe true way, which God has appointed,We often go on in our own.And thus we go on in the darkness,Groping our way thro’ the night;Unmindful ofttimes of His goodness,And missing His glorious light.But still He looks down with compassion,And e’en thro’ life’s greatest alarmsWe’re sheltered and safely protected,As weak little lambs in His arms.Could we but have more of His goodnessImplanted each day in our heart,Perhaps there are others about usWho’d feel the rich joy we’d impart.Could our love, every day, be to othersAs the love from our Maker above,O what a grand army of brothersWould be banded together in love!
