O SON OF MAN

Gilbert Parker

O son of man, behold If thou shouldst stumble on the nameless trail, The trail that no man rides, Lift up thy heart,

Behold, O son of man, thou hast a helper near! O son of man, take heed If thou shouldst fall upon the vacant plain, The plain that no man loves,

Reach out thy hand, Take heed, O son of man, strength shall be given thee! O son of man, rejoice: If thou art blinded even at the door,

The door of the Safe Tent, Sing in thy heart, Rejoice, O son of man, thy pilot leads thee home!
