LIES Pathway.
We are all going home to our Fathers house on High
All going home.
! The path is narrow, and on either side
| There is valley deep and wide
And the way is rough for our weary feet, up the hill
The long, weary hill.
There thorns that will pierce and round by the way
Sharp cruel thorns.
But where they are thiclest the roses bloom
And the air is filed with their rich perfume
And drinking their fragrance forget the thorns till The
roses are gone
The bright, sweet roses
THEN the thorns will pierce deeper, and te wounds
will bleed
And we'll feel the pain.
Then eyes will grow din, and cheeks all pale,
Hearts will faint and spirits will fail;
But Hope will still breathe music DER the hesrts
broken chords,
The sad weary heart
And we'l to the top Of the hill at last of le
To the top Of the hill.
and we'll look back path way from where stand
For the print Of our foot steps is still on the sand
And wel grieve to other rambling feet walking In
our steps.
Poor, wandering ones
For the hill, has been steep, and the road has been
rough, for us,
Rugged and rough.
But there is valley OH the other side
And there is a river deep and wide
and we must pass through the valley and come down 70
the river Of death,
The dark river.
The mystic boaman is awaiting there, on the shad
owy brink,
Waiting for lis,
ESn now the dipping Of the oar IS heard,
And there's only time for a farcw eli word
Ere the shadows close round us, and life Is DER,
Eut a word and clasp Of the hand.
There are no shadows the other side Of the river Of
death,
No shadows there
There's perfume waited across the way
A fragrance of fowerh that will never decay
As We near the shore, welcome awaits us from
friends gone before,
And there's another clasp Of The hand.
