DAYLIGHT AND DARKNESS

——————————————

——————

I PRAYED to God in the morning,

“Thy yoke is easy, Lord,

And light indeed is Thy burden,

And crystal clear is Thy word,

And I am ready for service,

Whatever Thou wilt,” I said,

As blithely I started forward,

The pathway bright ahead.

 

The night came down with its darkness,

And long indeed was the road,

And I was tired and weary,

And fainting beneath my load.

I  lost the words of His promise,

 And none of my work was done.

I  cried aloud for the daylight,

For a smooth road, and the sun.

 

Then a voice came out of the shadows,

 The voice of my unseen Friend:

“Lo, I am with you always,

Even unto the end.”

It took the night and its darkness,

 And a long road, rough and dim,

And the faithful care of my Shepherd,

To bring me close to Him.
