Henry Francis Lyte

“Let good or ill befall,It must be good for me,—Secure of having Thee in all,Of having all in Thee.”

“I need Thy presence every passing hour;What, but Thy grace, can foil the tempter's power?Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!”

“A scrip on my back, and a staff in my hand,I march on in haste through an enemy's land;The road may be rough, but it cannot be long;And I'll smooth it with hope, and I'll cheer it with song.”

“Haste thee on from grace to glory,Armed by faith and winged by prayer,Heaven's eternal day's before thee;God's own hand shall guide thee there.”
