If the path I travel

Margaret E. Barber (1869-1930)

3 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

If the path I travel Lead me to the cross, If the way Thou choosest Lead to pain and loss, Let the compensation Daily, hourly, be Shadowless communion, Blessed Lord, with Thee.

Verse 2

If there's less of earth joy, Give, Lord, more of heaven. Let the spirit praise Thee, Though the heart be riven; If sweet earthly ties, Lord, Break at Thy decree, Let the tie that binds us, Closer, sweeter, be.

Verse 3

Lonely though the pathway, Cheer it with Thy smile; Be Thou my companion Through earth's little while; Selfless may I live, Lord, By Thy grace to be Just a cleansed channel For Thy life through me.
