All the tolls Of the road will seem nothing
When ! get TO the end Of the way.
There are so many hills TO climb upward
] often am longing for rest
But He who appoints me my pathway
Knows Just what is needed and best
know in His word lie has promised
That my strength shall be- as my dayi
And the tolls OF the road will seem nothing
when get 20 the end OF the way.
He loves me too well to forsakc me.
or give me one trial too much;
All His people have been dearly purchased
And satan can never claim such.
By and by shall see Him and praise Him.
In the city ofunending day;
And the tolls Of the road will seem nothing
when I get to the end Of the way.
When the last feeble step has been taken.
And the gates Of the city appear
And the beautiful songs Of the angels.
Float out on my listening ear;
when an that now seems so mysterious
VIII be- plain and clear as the day
Yes. the tolls Of the road Will seem nothing
when get 10 the end Of the way.
Though now am footsore and weary
/ shall rest when I'm safely at home;
know ri receive "a glad welcome,
For the Saviour Himself has said. Come
SO when am weary I'm body,
And sinking in spirit, ] say.

when get to the end Of the way.

There are cOrdials for those whOare faint
There are robes that are whittier and purer
Than any that fancy can paint;
Then I'll try 10 press hopefully onward
Thinking often through each weary day
The tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get TO the end OF the way.
