Whatever The Way

Tune: Breslau

(\'Take up thy cross, the Saviour said\')

**********

In times restricted or without

Some things a while, though not to doubt

But trust in you, Lord, that w go

Your way, though sometimes hardship know

 

May we not take for granted here

Everyday things that appear

Your way, your will, to put it first

To hunger rafter you and thirst

 

If find some unnecessary

Things we can do without, so be

Whether for short time or for long

Yet unto you still be our song

 

For you the Lord, you do not change

We shall not find uncertain, strange

Your guidance, leading, for you do

Promise good to who follow you

 

Though if we will follow you, see

You say take up our cross daily

To self-deny, not what we will

But seeking your will and way still

 

Through deserts, lonely lands may you

Go with us, strengthen us anew

Who travelled though bare wilderness

Tempted forty days, nights, no less
