May peace with thee abide!
Though dreary seems the way,
No staff, no scrip, no guide,
And all thy heart astray. May peace with thee abide!
And when thy burdens grow,
Fear not, faint not; beside
the rock the waters flow! May peace with thee abide!
With care and toil oppressed,
Submit; He will provide
For thee His grace and rest. May peace with thee abide!
On thee may God's light glow!
His peace is not denied,
Although thou falter so.
