When along life's thorny road

Verse 1

When along life's thorny road, Faints the soul beneath the load, By its cares and sins opprest, Finds on earth no peace or rest; When the wily tempter's near, Filling us with doubt and fear: Jesus, to Thy feet we flee, Jesus, we will look to Thee.

Verse 2

Thou, our Savior, from the throne Listenest to Thy people's moan; Thou, the living Head, dost share Every pang Thy members bear; Full of tenderness Thou art, Thou wilt heal the broken heart; Full of power Thine arm shall quell All the rage bad might of hell.

Verse 3

Mighty to redeem and save, Thou hast overcome the grave; Thou the bars of death hast riven, Opened wide the bars of heaven; Soon in glory thou shalt come, Taking Thy poor pilgrims home; Jesus, then we all shall be, Ever, ever, Lord, with Thee.
