The Hymnal ‎#182

182. O Son of Man, who walked each day

1 O Son of Man, who walked each day
A humble road serene and strong,
Go with me now upon life's way,
My Comrade all the journey long.

2 If light and joy should be my part,
Then share with me the shining hour;
If clouds should come, speak to my heart
Thy word of comfort, love, and power.

3 So shall I walk in happiness,
So shall my task with love be fraught,
If Thou art near to mark and bless
The labor done, the beauty wrought.

4 O Son of God, who came and shed
A light for all the ages long,
Thy company shall make me glad,
Thy fellowship shall keep me strong!

Amen.
