WAYFARERS by ALDYTH HAWGOOD

First Line: THOU WHO WALKED IN GALILEE
Last Line: TRAIL THESE TRAILER TRAILS WITH ME.

Thou who walked in Galilee,
Trail these trailer trails with me;
Thou who loved the out-of-doors,
Lakes and streams and quiet shores,
Loved the peace of star-flecked nights
And the rugged mountain heights,
Vineyards, groves, and farming lands,
Wilderness, and desert sands,
Teach me, too, to draw near God
Living close to sky and sod.

Thou who knew Thy fellowman
Only as a roamer can,
And who loved them every one,
Fisher, housewife, rich man's son,
Husbandman, and shepherd boy,
Those in grief and those in joy,
Pausing always in Thy walk
For the fellowship of talk,
Teach me, too, such amity,
Trail these trailer trails with me.
