Weary of wand’ring long,
My sore heart saith;
“Show me Thy way, O Lord!
Teach me Thy path!”
I thought these weary feet
Straightway would find
All rough and rugged paths
Left far behind.
Weary of wand’ring long,
My sore heart saith;
“Show me Thy way, O Lord!
Teach me Thy path!”
But, as I onward passed,
The way grew steep;
And black clouds gathered fast,
And skies did weep;
And darkness seemed to hide
The toilsome road:
Amazed, again I cried,
“Thy way, O God?”
Weary of wand’ring long,
My sore heart saith;
“Show me Thy way, O Lord!
Teach me Thy path!”
“A lamp unto my feet”
God’s Word did prove;
A “Still, small voice,” and sweet,
Spoke thus in love:
“Whoso, through night and day,
God’s way pursues,
‘Him shall He teach the way
That he shall choose.’”
Weary of wand’ring long,
My sore heart saith;
“Show me Thy way, O Lord!
Teach me Thy path!”
Then, since He chose for me
This rugged path,
My hand in His shall be
With steadfast faith;
Each step this darksome night
Is bringing me
Still nearer to the bright
Eternity.
Weary of wand’ring long,
My sore heart saith;
“Show me Thy way, O Lord!
Teach me Thy path!”
