He Chose the Path for Thee

HE chose this path for thee; No feeble chance, nor hard relentless fate, But love, His love, hath placed thy footsteps here. He knew the way was rough and desolate, Knew thy heart would often sink with fear, Yet tenderly He whispered, “Child, I see This path is best for thee.”
He chose this path for thee; What needst thou more, this sweeter truth to know, That all along these strange, bewildering ways, O’er rocky steps and where dark rivers flow, His loving arms will bear thee all thy days? A few more steps, and thou thyself shalt see “This path is best for thee.”
