We walk this path
1 We walk this path, the path of light,
where truth illuminates the way;
it banishes the darkest gloom
and signals the approaching day
when those who made the light their own
are welcomed at the Saviour’s throne.
2 We walk this path, the path of life,
whose rich abundance knows no end:
the deep contentment shared by all
whom God accepts as child and friend;
for even death cannot destroy
this gift the saints of God enjoy.
3 And walking on this path we hear
the call to listen and to learn:
to seek the Spirit’s prompting word
and take the route our hearts discern
as through the passing days we grow
more like the God whose voice we know.
4 We walk this path, the path of love,
the way of servant-hearted care,
with Christ’s own generosity
the model for the life we share,
until, our pilgrim journey past,
we rest in love, in God, at last.
