Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHIIJ KKLMML NNOPQO RRSTTS UUVWWV| When the path of my life | A |
| Lay through trouble and strife | A |
| And temptation encompassed me round | B |
| As a light in the shade | C |
| Thou wast sent to mine aid | C |
| And a harbour of refuge was found | B |
| - | |
| I beheld in thine eye | D |
| As a beam from on high | D |
| The ray of compassion revealed | E |
| And I turned in relief | F |
| From the Valley of Grief | F |
| I turned to be strengthened and healed | E |
| - | |
| In the words that you breathed | G |
| All my sorrow was sheathed | G |
| And peace like a dove settled down | H |
| And the calm of your presence | I |
| Like mercy's pure essence | I |
| Recaptured the faith that had flown | J |
| - | |
| Since then if perplexed | K |
| If harassed or vexed | K |
| If tempted afflicted or tried | L |
| I have sought thee to cheer | M |
| Thou hast ever been near | M |
| To comfort to soothe and to guide | L |
| - | |
| Thus a thrill of affection | N |
| Must greet the reflection | N |
| That thou hast considered my needs | O |
| And my heart can but move | P |
| With a reverent love | Q |
| As I ponder thy merciful deeds | O |
| - | |
| Though feeble and weak | R |
| Are the words that I speak | R |
| Such gratitude wells in my soul | S |
| That I dare not express | T |
| What I fain would confess | T |
| Lest my pen should escape my control | S |
| - | |
| Yet these measures restrained | U |
| Will have surely attained | U |
| The purpose that caused them to be | V |
| If of all that I feel | W |
| They should chance to reveal | W |
| But a hint in a whisper to thee | V |
