Hymn Lyrics Search - Name That Hymn

hi
does anyone know who wrote this hymn
called
''lady of the way'' or somtimes called ''mother of the way''

lyrics

Mother,mother i am coming
home to Jesus and to thee,
but my country's hills are distant
and their lights i cannot see.

Mother, Harken as i pray
meet me on my homeward way
meet me lady of the way
meet me, mother dear today

Often times my skies are clouded
i can see no sun or star
but the road is rough and narrow
and the end seems very far

Mother, Harken as i pray
meet me on my homeward way
meet me lady of the way
meet me, mother dear today
