WALKING HOME WITH JESUS
Walking home with Jesus
Along lifes sunlit way,
I do not fear whatever comes
Nor what the world may say.
My hand held close in His dear grasp,
My heart V/ild storms
attuned to his, may break and winds
may
rage ,
The road I cannot miss.
Walking home with Jesus
I know the world is sweet,
Its scenes of beauty filled with joy s
Its fruitfulness replete.
But still we journey on our way
To Where
happy homes all earths
above strivings
and
demands,
Are clroxvned in endless love
Walking home with Jesus Is pleasant, restful day.
The sun. ic always shining new Though clouds may block its way.
The silver cloak of sorrows pain Has golden lining bright.
For walking home with Jesus is A pathway cleared with light. Edith Ft. Preston
