212. P. M. Mrs. Follen.

Lord, to Whom Shall We Go?

1 When, with error bewildered, our path becomes dreary,

And tears of despondency flow,

When the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is weary,

Despairing,--to whom shall we go?

2 When the thirsting soul turneth away from the springs

Of the pleasures this world can bestow,

And sighs for another, and flutters its wings,

Impatient,--to whom shall it go?

3 O, blest be that light which has parted the clouds,

And a path to the wanderer can show;

That pierces the veil which the future enshrouds,

And tells us to whom we should go!
