A pleasant road;

Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed,

1  I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
 A pleasant road;
I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me
 Aught of its load.
For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead:
 Lead me aright,
Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed,
 Through peace to light.

2  I do not ask my cross to understand,
 My way to see;
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand,
 And follow Thee.
Joy is like restless day, but peace divine
 Like quiet night;
Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine,
 Through peace to light.
