The pathway of the pilgrim
Is oft a rocky road;
Sometimes it seems that he would fall
Beneath his heavy load.
The pathway of the pilgrim
Is sorry along the way;
But ever he looks upward –
Longs for that perfect day.
The pathway of the pilgrim
Is with temptations fraught;
But oh the blessed assurance
In the work which Christ has wrought.
The pathway of the pilgrim
Grows darker with each day;
Oh pray for great and glorious grace
Nor falter on that way.
The pathway of the pilgrim
Leads at last to heavenly home;
There we shall sing His praises
Fore’er around the Throne.
