Thro’ life’s pilgrim way
I’ll journey with my Savior,
In the night of care
He’ll lead me to the day,
Till I enter Heaven’s
Portals by His favor,
Trusting, I will go
With Jesus all the way.
Refrain
I’ll go with Him all the way to glory,
I will go with Jesus all the way,
Till I stand within
The homeland portals,
I will go with Jesus all the way.
He will never, never
Leave me nor forsake me;
If in Him I put my trust
I shall not stray,
For He knows the path
That leadeth thro’ the valley,
And with Him there’s light
And glory all the way.
Refrain
Even now I seem
To hear the songs of glory,
From the souls that stand
Redeemed before His throne;
I rejoice, for some day
I shall sing that story,
Of the Christ who brought
Me safely to my home.
Refrain
When the enemies
Of Jesus would alarm me,
Then I cry for help
To Him who is my friend,
And He always answers
E’er my foes can harm me,
He who conquered death
Will keep me to the end.
Refrain
