By roads that wound uphill and down

Louis F. Benson (1927) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 84:4-5

Verse 1

By roads that wound uphill and down, Beside the lake in Galilee, From house to house, from town to town, Our Lord fulfilled his ministry.

Verse 2

He healed the sick; he cured the blind; He sought for those who went astray; He told the lost that God is kind And set them on the homeward way.

Verse 3

How blest the homes that knew him then; And holy yet the paths he trod! O gracious heart that loved allmen1 O patient feet that walked with God!

Verse 4

Lord Christ, forevermore, the same In heaven as in Galilee, Embolden us to name thy name, To make our lives a ministry.

Verse 5

Amen.
