Highway of Hope

I cannot bear to look ahead

To roads that seem too dark with dread

Oh Lord, my God, help me instead

To trust Thy All in all

For though the road looks dark today

As I peer to its come-what-may

Your faithful Light will show the Way

Through every rise and fall

I cannot carry morrow’s load

But cling to promises that goad

Faith’s eyes to fix beyond the road

To Mercy’s Patriarch

Then when I travel through the vale

Though mortal bark is weak and frail

You grant with Love that will not fail

Light greater than the dark

 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
 I will strengthen you and help you;
 I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isa.41:10
