Classic Poem

1. We thank thee, Lord, thy paths of service lead To blazoned
2. We've sought and found thee in the secret place, And marveled
heights and down the slopes of need; They reach thy throne, en-
at the radiance of thy face; But often in some
compass land and sea, And he who journeys in them walks with thee.
far-off Galilee, Beheld thee fairer yet while serving thee.

3. We've felt thy touch in sorrow's darkened way,
Abound with love and solace for the day;
And 'neath the burdens there, thy sovereignty,
Has held our hearts enthralled while serving thee.

4. We've seen thy glory like a mantle spread
O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red;
But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free,
A splendor greater yet while serving thee.
