Without God

I could not face the day

Its sunshine or the rain

Without God’s love to lead the way

And bring me home again

I could not face the night

The darkness or its deep

Without God’s peace to whisper, child

I’ll keep thee while you sleep

I could not face this life

Its mountain or its sea

Without God’s grace to fill my want  

And gently comfort me

I could not face death's vale

But when that hour comes

I know that God will walk me through

And kindly lead me home
