If you have gone a little way ahead of me,call back- `Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track; And if,perchance,Faith`s light is dim,because the oil is low, Your call will guide my lagging course as wearily I go. Call back,and tell me that He went with you into the storm; Call back,and say He kept you when the forest`s roots were torn That,when the heaven`s thunder and the earthquake shook the hill, He bore you up and held you where the air was very still. Oh,friend,call back,and tell me for I cannot see your face; They say it glows with triumph,and your feet bound in the race; But there are mists between us and my spirit eyes are dim, And I cannot see the glory,though I long for word of Him. But if you`ll say He heard you when your prayer was but a cry. And if you`ll say He saw you through the night`s sin-darkened sky- If you have gone a little way ahead,oh,friend,call back- `Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track |
