When friend from friend is parting.

And walk the path of duty;
Then in the home above you'll live
Where reigns immortal beauty.

1. The Lord is

2. He strengthens my spirit, he shows me the path
Where the arms of his love shall enfold me,
And when I walk through the dark valley of death,
His rod and his staff will uphold me.

1. On tell me, Thou life and delight of my soul, Where the flock of thy pasture are feeding;

I seek thy protection, I need thy control,

'Mid the desert where now they are roving,
Where hunger and thirst, where affliction and woes,
And temptations their ruin are proving?

And the follies that fill me with weeping?
Thou Shepherd of Israel, restore me that peace
Thou dost give to the flock thou art keeping.

5. A voice from the Shepherd now bids thee return
By the way where the footprints are lying:
No longer to wander, no longer to mourn,
Oh fair one, now homeward be flying.

In seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast. wATTS.

Thy presence through my journey
My life and death attend; [shine,

Name ever dear to me,

In joy and peace and thee?
