 |  |  |  | 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. |  |  | 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. |  |  | 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 cleansd channel |  |  |  | For Thy life through me. |
