In concluding, I trust this little "Sketch from Life" and personal
experience and advice therein contained, may cause many in the "dear
old land" who are situated as I was, and others, to take heart and
courage, and I doubt not the same blessing will attend them. They may
have a rough time for a few years, and many ups and downs, but what of
that? Labor with plenty, gives the best health, strength, enjoyment and
longevity. Thus, with a firm trust in the "All-wise" to direct their
path, their feet shall never slip, and they shall cause the "wilderness
to blossom as the rose," and, "by the good hand of God upon them,"
build up a home, as surely as Nehemiah built up Jerusalem, and to cheer
their hearts I will give them a song to sing all along their pilgrim
journey.
ALL THE WAY.
All the way my Saviour leads me,
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know whate'er befalls me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo, a spring of joy I see!
All the way my Saviour leads me,
Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song, through endless ages,
JESUS LED ME ALL THE WAY.
N.B.--The profit, if any, from the sale of this little sketch will be
devoted to the furtherance of True Temperance.
