Lyrics

The path that leads me to the throne
They say is rough and steep;
I do not tra­vel there alone,
My Lord is there to keep.

Refrain

My Sav­ior jour­neys by my side
To keep me day by day;
O, He will guard, and He will guide,
And bless me all the way.

Before I reach my home on high,
I’ll pass where sor­rows dwell;
But since I have my Sav­ior nigh,
I know that all is well.

Refrain

Before me are the sha­dows deep,
The val­ley and the gloam;
But ev­en there the Lord will keep
And lead me safe­ly home.
