The Lord Knoweth the Way

Verse 1

The mountain-path is rough and steep, The Lord knoweth the way; His mighty arm my steps will keep, The Lord knoweth the way; And while I in his love abide, And ev’ry need to him confide, He says my feet shall never slide, The Lord knoweth the way.

Chorus

He’ll walk beside me, He’ll gently guide me, My Saviour knoweth the way; Oh, let me to his hand cling fast Till earthly ills are overpast, And I shall reach his home at last, The Lord knoweth the way.

Verse 2

Thro’ sunshine bright or shadows dim, The Lord knoweth the way; I’ll leave the planning all to him, The Lord knoweth the way; Amid the windings of the road, He’ll choose the course, he’ll lift the load, And lead me to his blessed side, The Lord knoweth the way.

Verse 3

I’ll follow still the blood-stained track, The Lord knoweth the way; And “no good thing” my soul shall lack, The Lord knoweth the way; Then up and on, from vale to hill, Surrendered to my Saviour’s will, His blessed purpose he’ll fulfill, The Lord knoweth the way.
