A weary traveler on this road of life,
I wander on through trials and through strife,
My heart is heavy, burdened with my sin,
But in my soul, there burns a light within.
Oh, lead me on my journey, Lord above,
Through valleys low and mountains high I'll love,
I'll cling to thee, my refuge and my guide,
And in thy arms I'll safely abide.
Sometimes I stumble, falter on my way,
But thou art near, to help me day by day,
Thy gentle hand, it lifts me up again,
And soothes my soul, and takes away my pain.
Oh, lead me on my journey, Lord above,
Through valleys low and mountains high I'll love,
I'll cling to thee, my refuge and my guide,
And in thy arms I'll safely abide.
The way is long, and oftentimes I'm tired,
But thou art with me, with love that's never expired,
With every step, I grow a little more,
And closer to the goal that's set before.
Oh, lead me on my journey, Lord above,
Through valleys low and mountains high I'll love,
I'll cling to thee, my refuge and my guide,
And in thy arms I'll safely abide.
And when at last my journey's at its end,
And I have reached my home, my dearest friend,
I'll kneel before thee, in thankfulness and love,
And praise thee for thy grace from up above.
Oh, lead me on my journey, Lord above,
Through valleys low and mountains high I'll love,
I'll cling to thee, my refuge and my guide,
And in thy arms I'll safely abide.
