1  If the path I travel
      Lead me to the cross,
    If the way Thou choosest
      Lead to pain and loss,
    Let [bad word] 
      Daily, hourly, be
    [bad word] 
      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 [bad word] 
      Through earth's little while;
    Selfless may I live, Lord,
      By Thy grace to be
    Just a cleansed channel
      For Thy life through me.
