THAT PATHWAY! O LET IT BE TREASURED
1
THAT pathway! O let it be treasured,
For none ever trod it
before.
Those steps of aloneness unmeasured!
Our spirits
must pause, and adore.
2 None, none had been laid in that
manger,
And none had been laid in that grave
But Jesus, the
heavenly Stranger
Who came wayward sinners to save.
3
Alone --- in the hall of decision,
His judgment was taken
away:
Alone --- on the cross of derision,
Of darkness,
distress and dismay.
4 Alone --- apprehended and
taken,
While lovers forsook Him and fled.
Alone --- and
completely forsaken,
God's judgment was poured on His head.
5
And yet 'twas for us He endured it;
Alone in perfection was
He:
Our blessing --- He only secured it,
By dying alone on
the tree.
6 Lord, Thou art no longer deserted!
The
Father is sharing His throne
With Thee, who our judgment
endured
That we might be never alone.
7 O love
unsurpassed and unbounded!
O love that will ever endure
Until
in the glory surrounded
With those Thou hast died to secure.
Mrs. A.H.Berg
