The Shining Path

By Mary Louise Hornibrook

Sometimes the thought of God's great love to me Seems almost overwhelming in its might; It fills my heart, and bathes my path in life With a rich glow of never-failing light; I think without the knowledge of that love My day would fade to deepest, darkest night.
What matters it where’er my path may lie? My Father reigns; and in his loving hand I’ll lay my own, in childlike hope and trust, Knowing ’twill guide me to that better land Where I shall dwell with those who love the Lord, And sing his praises with the angel band.
My Lord, I thank thee for this wondrous love, Which gladdens and enriches all my way, And sheds its beams of tender, shining light Around my steps, e’en when they go astray; May grace upon my path shine more and more Unto the radiance of the perfect day!
— Mary Louise Hornibrook.
