Alone with None but Thee (St. Columba)

Alone with none but thee, my God, I journey on my way. What need I fear when thou art near, O King of night and day? More safe am I within thy hand than if a host did round me stand. My destined time is known to thee, and death will keep his hour; did warriors strong around me throng, they could not stay his power. No walls of stone can man defend when thou thy messenger dost send. My life I yield to thy decree, and bow to thy control in peaceful calm, for from thine arm no power can wrest my soul. Could earthly omens e'er appal a man that heeds the heavenly call?
