God of all these paths outworn
keep us all from unknown harm
hold us in your eyes today
we are children in the way
of each least thing that mows us down
and every cruel or unwitting frown
and though we long to be with You
we know that we have much to do
much to mend and much to salve
of all the wounds on earth that crowd
the living air with such distress
oh God be ever present Rest.
that we may find by close of day
we helped the grieving on their way
and found our home in You.
