Lyrics

When the way is dark and drea­ry,
And your path would lead as­tray,
If you’ll on­ly trust in Je­sus,
He will guide you all the way.

Refrain

He’ll go with you, He’ll go with you,
He’ll go with you to the end;
In your joy or in your sor­row,
He will be your dear­est friend.

When your heart is sad and lone­ly,
And your grief is hard to bear,
If you’ll on­ly trust in Je­sus,
He will all your sor­rows share.

Refrain

Though temp­ta­tions come up­on you,
Calling, call­ing day by day,
If you on­ly trust in Je­sus,
You can ne­ver go as­tray.

Refrain

When your work on earth is ov­er,
And you reach the riv­er wide,
Christ the Sav­ior will go with you,
He will bear you o’er the tide.
