Poems (Barker)/He Never Lead You Wrong
Speak softly! nor in scornful pride
Look on the heart so sorely tried,
Remember that we all have erred
By deed, by action and by word.
Had we been tempted, God alone
The triumph, or the fall had known,
Speak softly both have gone astray
Go help them both to find the way.

Speak softly both have gone astray
Go help them both to find the way.
He Never Lead You Wrong.
The pathway may not seem so bright,
The morning not so clear,
The goal that seemed almost in sight,
May not be quite so near;
But let content and gladness be
The burden of your song,
Remember dear one, from the first,
He never led you wrong!
The morning not so clear,
The goal that seemed almost in sight,
May not be quite so near;
But let content and gladness be
The burden of your song,
Remember dear one, from the first,
He never led you wrong!
The evening shades may gather deep,
While yet it seemeth noon;
Our hearts are young and brave as yet,
They're growing old too soon.
Remember that the hardest lot,
Its sunshine brings along,
You're trusting to a mighty arm,
That never led you wrong.
While yet it seemeth noon;
Our hearts are young and brave as yet,
They're growing old too soon.
Remember that the hardest lot,
Its sunshine brings along,
You're trusting to a mighty arm,
That never led you wrong.
Life's disappointments come apace,
Dark clouds, with sun behind,
How many times the deepest gloom
We learn is silver lined."
Still let content and gladness be
The burden of your song!
Remember dear one from the first
He never led you wrong.
Dark clouds, with sun behind,
How many times the deepest gloom
We learn is silver lined."
Still let content and gladness be
The burden of your song!
Remember dear one from the first
He never led you wrong.
