Christ of the Upward Way
1. Christ of the upward way,
My guide divine,
Where You have set Your feet
May I place mine;
And move and march wherever You have trod,
Keeping face forward up the hill of God.
2. Give me the heart to hear
Your voice and will,
That without fault or fear
I may fulfill
Your purpose with a glad and holy zest,
Like one who would not bring less than the best.
3. Christ of the upward way,
My guide divine,
Where You have set Your feet
May I place mine;
And when Your last call comes serene and clear,
Calm may my answer be, "Lord, I am here."
