Lyrics

In the path of sin I could not stay,
Now my heart is hap­py ev­ery day;
I am walk­ing in the nar­row way,
On the long, long road with Je­sus.

Refrain

On the long, long road with Je­sus,
On the long, long road with Je­sus,
Thro’ the days of weal or woe,
I am sing­ing as I go
On the long, long road,
On the long, long road with Him.

On my path there shines a ra­di­ant light,
And the bells of joy ring day and night;
I am walk­ing in the sun­shine bright,
On the long, long road with Je­sus.

Refrain

When my heart is faint, He makes me strong,
And He bears my bur­den all day long;
I am sing­ing now a glad new song,
On the long, long road with Je­sus.

Refrain

I shall reach that hap­py gold­en shore,
There to dwell in joy for ev­er­more,
If I fol­low Him who goes be­fore,
On the long, long road with Je­sus.
