Hymn 339
William P. McKenzie
There are none friendless, none afraid,
The saving Truth who know,
Their shining path leads from the shade,
And up to light they go.
It setteth free from thought of sin,
It healeth sorrow’s blight,
Immortal joy is found therein,
And there shall be no night.
And O, may we, God’s children true,
His healing love make known,
And see by faith all things made new
When ruled by Love alone.
Hymn 70
Elizabeth C. Adams
God giveth light to all
Who ask with prayer sincere;
He doth not fail to hear that call;
His Truth is ever near.
Plain shall His guidance be,
If thou but seek the right;
Clearly thy pathway thou shalt see,
A line of purest light.
God is thy light and health;
No death nor darkness there;
Turn but to Him, accept His wealth,
And all His glory share.
Hymn 136
Violet Hay
I love Thy way of freedom, Lord,
To serve Thee is my choice,
In Thy clear light of Truth I rise
And, listening for Thy voice,
I hear Thy promise old and new,
That bids all fear to cease:
My presence still shall go with thee
And I will give thee peace.
Though storm or discord cross my path
Thy power is still my stay,
Though human will and woe would check
My upward-soaring way;
All unafraid I wait, the while
Thy angels bring release,
For still Thy presence is with me,
And Thou dost give me peace.
I climb, with joy, the heights of Mind,
To soar o’er time and space;
I yet shall know as I am known
And see Thee face to face.
Till time and space and fear are naught
My quest shall never cease,
Thy presence ever goes with me
And Thou dost give me peace.
