If The Path I Travel

If the path I travel lead me to the cross,
If the way Thou choosest lead to pain and loss,
Let the compensation daily, hourly, be
Shadowless communion, blessed Lord, with Thee.
If there's less of earth joy, give, Lord, more of h
eaven.
Let the spirit praise Thee, though the heart be riv
en;
If sweet earthly ties, Lord, break at Thy decree,
Let the tie that binds us, closer, sweeter, be.
Lonely though the pathway, cheer it with Thy smile;
Be Thou my companion through earth's little while;
Selfless may I live, Lord, by Thy grace to be
Just a cleansed channel for Thy life through me
