Dear Lord, I cannot see-

But this I know, although the road ascends

And passes from my sight,

That there will be no night;

That you will take her gently by the hand

And lead her on

Along the road that never ends,

And she will find it is not death but dawn.

I do not doubt that you are there as here,

And you will hold her dear--.

Dear Lord, I thank you for the faith that frees,

The love that knows it cannot lose its own;

The love that, looking through the shadows sees.

That you and she and I are ever one!

"He leads me beside still waters;

He restores my soul." Psalm 23:2-3
