This Way...

I cannot walk this way alone

It passes through life’s vast Unknown

Then, beyond its unyielding sea

Lies immortal eternity

I dare not walk this way alone

In life and death I need Someone

To gently guide and comfort me

And know those things I cannot see

I need not walk this way alone

Through suffering of thorn and stone

Through searing sun and howling gale

I need a Hand that will not fail

I will not walk this way alone

Though the Unknown is still unknown

And I cannot foretell its ways

It never passes from His gaze
