The Pathway of Life

Thomas P. Westendorf • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 16:11

Verse 1

I’ve a guide, tho’ the way be long, I’ve a friend, tho’ the world be cold; There’s an arm that I know is strong, That safe to my own doth hold.

Chorus

He will show me the pathway of life, Leading up to a fullness of joy At the right hand of the throne, When this dreary life is done Not a care shall my peace destroy.

Verse 2

Thro’ the cloudland of hope I see Beaming straight from the throne of grace Mercy’s star, and it brings to me All the light of His holy face.

Chorus

He will show me the pathway of life, Leading up to a fullness of joy At the right hand of the throne, When this dreary life is done Not a care shall my peace destroy.

Verse 3

Not a doubt does my fond heart know, Not a fear lingers in my breast, Trusting still in His love I go On my way to that home of rest.

Chorus

He will show me the pathway of life, Leading up to a fullness of joy At the right hand of the throne, When this dreary life is done Not a care shall my peace destroy.
