[})ark and thorny is the desert

8hrough which pilgrims make their way

d3ut beyond this vale of sorrows

J!_ie the fields of endless day;

9'iends, loud howling through the desert,

cf/J[ake them tremble as they go;
Jlnd the fiery darts of[Jlatan

()~en bring their courage low.

...

(), young soldiers, are you weary

()f the troubles of the way?

[})oes your strength begin to fail you,
Jlnd your vigor to decay?

Jesus, Jesus, will go with you,

(/-t_e will lead you to his throne;

J

(/-t_e who dyed his gannents for you,
Jlnd the wine press trod alone.

"The Bridge Builder"

An old man, going a lone highway, Came at the evening cold and gray,

L

To a chasm, vast, and deep and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

E

The old man crossed in the twilight dim;

w

The sullen stream had no fears for him;

But he turned, when safe on the other side,

I

And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man", said a fellow pilgrim near,

s

"You are wasting strength in building here.

Your journey will end with the ending day;

You never again must pass this way. You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide

s

Why build you a bridge at the eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head:

T

"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said "There followeth after me today

R

A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me

E

To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;

E

Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.

At 10:30 pm on March 30, 2012, God in His infmite wisdom opened Heaven's gates and called His faithful servant home to be with the Lord.

in her efforts to feed the community as an active participant in Mt. ~inai Outreach
