Our Living Guide

By Irene Holt

IRENE HOLT
DEAR Lord, walk with us as in days of old Thou didst with thy disciples by the way, As to the inner circle of thy fold Thou gathered them to be their strength and stay.
Long seem the years since thou in Galilee Didst draw them by thy heart of tender love; And yet I know that we by faith may see The same dear form, today, in heaven above.
Though men have lived and died, and time has wrought In nations many a change of tongue and line, Thy care above thy people changeth not; Thine eye has marked each life and set the sign.
God with us in the flesh! Could Heaven unfold In perfect love more grace to set us free? O Lamb of God, by thy pure Spirit mold Our lives like thine, and stay our hearts on thee,
Till, pure and gentle, we to thee have won The wandering, sin-sick souls for whom Christ died; And we shall see on earth thy victory won,— Thy lost ones found, thy ransomed by thy side.
Lord, help us rise and work; the time is come; Thy footsteps hear we, and the promised land Is beckoning us to turn our faces home, And set our feet upon the shining strand.
