A girl is lost and left in gloom

To walk a night without a moon.

And at her heels come hissing snakes

Condemning all the paths she takes.

And those she finds make no attempt

To lead her from her dark descent.

Until a man she meets at last

Who judges not her paths of past.

He asks her simply to take his hand

And follow Him from the darkened land.

So now at last she sees the sun

And all the darkness begins to run;

And now with light to guide their way

They walk the road to their eternal stay.
