When the journey toilsome grows
Many's the conflict cares and woes
Going lifes way, going life way.
How we long for peace and love
Home in the Father's house above
Going lifes way, going life way.
Sweet the thought that cares will cease
Over the times our joys increase
Going lifes way, going life way.
On the way we'll rather sing
Praises to Christ our Lord and King
Going lifes way, going life way.
Though the dark way rugged might be
It's his own hands guiding we seek
Leading us too that mansion above
Where there is joy, joy, joy, rapture and love.
Jesus leads all shepards, friends
All of his own He will defend
Going lifes way, going lifes way.
Never will our Lord forsake
Us till in life we shall awake
Ending lifes way, going lifes way.
Though the dark way rugged might be
It's his own hands keeps a-guiding we seek
Leading us too that mansion above
Where there is joy, joy, joy, rapture and love...
