God's Presence

If my path be smooth or rugged

If with thorns or roses strewn

Where I go the Father seeith

And He will leave me not alone

-----

If I take the wings of mourning

Far within the silent sea

Even there His hand will lead me

Even there my God will be

-----

Though the gloom of night be round me

Though I cannot see my way

Yet the Lord will see and guide me

Because unto Him the night is day 

-----

If my thoughts are good or evil

Set me think to hide them not

There is one above all seeing

And he beholdeth every thought

-----

And ever more my eyes beholds me

And all my ways to Him are known

And His loving arms enfolds me

He will leve me not alone
