Life's Journey

Life’s Journey

 

Throughout life’s long journey,

 And wherever you go,

May you hold fast to Jesus,

 Who loves you so.

 

May you know you’ve a mother

 Who oft breathes a prayer

That you might be kept

 In the Lord’s tender care.

 

Let this mind be in you,

 To be loving and kind;

Always caring for others,

 That their needs you might find.

 

May you rejoice in the Lord;

 May you shine as a light;

Counting all things but loss

 For the excellency of right.

 

Whatever is pure,

 And honest and true,

Think on these things;

 And those things, do.

 

For then you’ll be happy,

 And the Lord will be near;

He’ll supply all your need,

 And your prayer He will hear!
