Author: M. B. S. C. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #817 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Refrain First Line: Bid us, O Lord, to go Lyrics: 1 Along the silent path
By viewless spirits trod,
Another little traveler
Hath gone to be with God.
Refrain:
Bid us, O Lord, to go,
Or bid us here to stay;
We’ll walk with Thee while here below,
Or up the silent way.
2 Gone up from human love
To higher love and care;
From pain below to peace above,
In mansions, oh, so fair! [Refrain]
3 Attune our hearts, O Lord,
Though they with sorrow swell,
To say this meek, submissive word—
“Thou doest all things well.” [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 Tune Title: [Along the silent path]
