Walking with God (1928)

WHO walks with God must take his way

Across far distances and gray

To goals that others do not see,

Where others do not care to be.

Who walks with God must have no fear

When danger and defeat appear,

Nor stop when every hope seems gone,

For God, our God, moves ever on.

Who walks with God must press ahead

When sun or cloud is overhead,

When all the waiting thousands cheer,

Or when they only stop to sneer;

When all the challenge leaves the hours

And naught is left but jaded powers.

But he will some day reach the dawn,

For God, our God, moves ever on.
