Softly Sojourning

"And he [Esau] said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. And he [Jacob] said unto him... The children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die... I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure" (Genesis 33:12-14).

So softly, Lord, You lead our souls
According as we can endure.
Every step Your love controls;
All Your paths of truth are sure.

So softly, Lord, You lead the way.
So teach us as we follow You
To trust You more each passing day
Till our sojourn here is through.
