When the journey toilsome grows
Many's the conflict cares and woes
Going life's way, going life way.
How we long for peace and love
Home in the Father's house above
Going life's way, going life way.
Sweet the thought that cares will cease
Over the times our joys increase
Going life's way, going life way.
On the way we'll rather sing
Praises to Christ our Lord and King
Going life's 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 shepherds, friends
All of his own He will defend
Going life's way, going life's way.
Never will our Lord forsake
Us till in life we shall awake
Ending life's way, going life's 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
