Upon the journey home;
And nearer, ever nearer
The lights of heaven come.

Their light illumes the pathway,
Through all the desert way;
The dawn of morning growing
Into the perfect day.

It led me to the Saviour,
To peace and joy within.

Into my inmost heart;
Revealing Christ in glory
And with Him there my part.

23
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (John 17:22‑26)

Of God’s unchanging love,
A Father’s love upon me

Of all God’s wondrous plan,
The Object of His counsel, —
The glorious Son of Man.

With ever bright’ning ray
Directs the gaze on JESUS
From all of earth away.

That light my guide will be;
Till hope shall have fruition
With Christ eternally.
