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.
