In the journey of life,
When troubled thoughts arise,
Like the billows upon the sea,
Let us look unto Him whose
Tender, loving arm
Our present help will be.
Refrain
He will meet us by the way,
Yes, He’ll meet us by the way,
And our hearts with burn with love,
When we think of the joy, the
Never ending rest,
For us prepared above.
He will cheer as He cheered
His faithful ones of old,
When they mourned for their absent Lord,
And commune with His children
Walking in the path
He taught them in His word.
Refrain
O the peace that will come
Like early morning dew,
When in secret we kneel in prayer,
And the door of the soul to
All the world is closed,
With only Jesus there!
Refrain
