My Journey

I walked one day with Pleasure,

We sang a lilting song,

But, at our parting, not a measure

Remained to help my steps along.

I walked one day with Sorrow,

The journey sad, and long,

But the faith she had for tomorrow

Left me with a song!

I walked one day the road alone,

Or so I thought I did,

But soon God's love-light shone:

My sadness disappeared, and hid.

I know I'll never walk alone,

For I can hold His hand,

And, when my burden seems a stone,

On the Rock of Faith I'll stand!
