For Truth that has dawned upon error's long night, O'erspanning the cloud with its rainbow of light; For Love ever present, dispelling the gloom, Transforming earth's drought into fresheness and bloom; The balm of the healing Christ ever at hand, Supply all-sufficient for daily demand; For hope growing brighter, calm trust that sustains; For strength in the conflict, sweet peace which remains; For loved ones now walking this same narrow way, Whose fellowship cheers in the heat of the day;— For all the sweet joys which my footsteps attend, I thank Thee, dear Father, redeemer and friend.
