The Traveler

She has put on invisibility.
Dear Lord, I cannot see --
But this I know, although the road ascends
And passes from my sight,
That there will be no night;
That You will take her gently by the hand

And lead her on
Along the road of life that never ends,
And she will find it is not death but dawn.
I do not doubt that you are there as here,
And You will hold her dear.
Dear Lord, I thank You for the faith tat frees,
The love that knows it cannot lose its own;
The love that, looking through the shadows, sees
That You and she and I are ever one!
