Amen! (BCC)

Shine thro’ the cloud and rain, thro’ sorrow, toil, and pain; make thou my pathway plain; teach me thy way. Long as my life shall last, teach me thy way! Where’er my lot be cast, teach me thy way! Until the race is run, until the journey’s done, until the crown is won, teach me thy way!”
