Williston Hymns ‎#180

180. Along Life's Highway

1 All along life’s rugged highway we can find some work to do,
We can cheer and help the sad, the tempted and the tried;
Shall we idly hesitate until the day has grown too late,
Then forget and pass upon the other side.

Refrain:
All along life’s highway do some work for God,
Tho’ the journey long, the pathway wide;
Let us help another’s need, and ever do a kindly deed,
Never passing by upon the other side.

2 All along life’s changing highway we can find some friendless souls;
We can point them to the blessed Lord, the Crucified;
We can whisper words of courage, we can wipe the falling tear,
Let us never pass upon the other side. [Refrain]

3 All along life’s toilsome highway there are wounded hearts that bleed;
In their helplessness too long already they have cried;
Let us carry healing balm, give to the quiv’ring lips a psalm,
Ah! too many pass upon the other side. [Refrain]
