We thank Thee, Lord,
Thy paths of service lead
To blazoned heights
and down the slopes of need;
They reach Thy throne,
encompass land and sea,
And he who journeys in them
walks with Thee.
We’ve sought and found Thee
in the secret place
And marveled at
the radiance of Thy face;
But often in some far off Galilee
Beheld Thee fairer
yet while serving Thee.
We’ve felt Thy touch
in sorrow’s darkened way
Abound with love
and solace for the day;
And, ’neath the burdens there,
Thy sovereignty,
Has held our hearts
enthralled while serving Thee.
We’ve seen Thy glory
like a mantle spread
O’er hill and dale
in saffron flame and red;
But in the eyes of men,
redeemed and free,
A splendor greater
yet while serving Thee.
Show us the paths
in which Thou wouldest lead
To blazoned heights
or down the slopes of need;
For both alike encompass
land and sea,
And he who journeys
in them walks with Thee.
