Poems (Coolidge)/Loyal—Loving
LOYAL—LOVING
O Christ! along the narrow way Undaunted I with thee would go; Thy will alone thy child shouldst know And loyal, loving, thee obey.
O Christ! with thee for staff and stay Thy yoke shall be a burden light; Through cloudless day, in darkest night I, loyal, loving, would obey.
O Christ, whose promise is "alway," Mine unbelief I bring to thee; Thy wound prints, Saviour, show to me Who, loyal, loving, would obey.
O Christ, when dawns eternal day, Thy perfect peace that child shall know, Who, through the darkness here below, Didst, loyal, loving, still obey.
