TO MY BENEFACTOR.
It's true I have a friend, indeed,
Whom I can safely trust and heed;
He's been to me a shining light,
And seeks to guide my feet aright.
Whom I can safely trust and heed;
He's been to me a shining light,
And seeks to guide my feet aright.
When doubt and fear shall cloud my skies,
Then he will come and sympathize;
He found me in a seeking state,
And placed me here among the great.
Then he will come and sympathize;
He found me in a seeking state,
And placed me here among the great.
Will he not lead me with his hand
Toward Canaan's fair and happy land?
Will he not mark each step I take,
Or mend each sacred link I break?
Toward Canaan's fair and happy land?
Will he not mark each step I take,
Or mend each sacred link I break?
I came to him when much oppressed,
And soon he eased my troubled breast;
And now I bless the way he led,
When all my sorrows quickly fled.
And soon he eased my troubled breast;
And now I bless the way he led,
When all my sorrows quickly fled.
