O'er the rugged path of duty,
Where my feet would fear to tread,
By the loving hand of Jesus,
Gently I am onward led.
As I follow where He leadeth,
I am kept in God's own light,
All my days are crowned with praises,
Songs He gives me in the night.
Tho' thro' unknown paths He takes me,
I can never go astray,
Not a cross can overcome me,
While the Savior is my stay.
As I follow where He leadeth,
I am kept in God's own light,
All my days are crowned with praises,
Songs He gives me in the night.
When upon the mount rejoicing,
Thrill'd with boundless love and peace,
There a still doth go before me,
Highest rapture to increase.
As I follow where He leadeth,
I am kept in God's own light,
All my days are crowned with praises,
Songs He gives me in the night.
Joy or sorrow, pain or pleasure,
On the mount or in the vale,
I am His and He will keep me,
His is love that cannot fail.
As I follow where He leadeth,
I am kept in God's own light,
All my days are crowned with praises,
Songs He gives me in the night.
