PATH OF LIFE.
1
O Lord, in sickness and in health,To every lot resigned,
Grant me, before all worldly wealth,
A meek and thankful mind!
2
As, life, thy upland path we tread,And often pause in vain,
To think of friends and parents dead,
Oh, let us not complain!
3
The Lord may give or take away,But nought our faith can move,
Whilst we to heaven can look and say,
Our Father lives above.
