Author: T. P. W. Hymnal: The Great Awakening #88 (1886) First Line: I've a guide, tho' the way be long Refrain First Line: He will show me the pathway of life Lyrics: 1 I’ve a guide, tho’ the way be long,
I’ve a friend, tho’ the world be cold;
There’s an arm that I know is strong,
That safe to my own doth hold.
Refrain:
He will show me the pathway of life,
Leading up to a fullness of joy
At the right hand of the throne,
When this dreary life is done
Not a care shall my peace destroy.
2 Thro’ the cloudland of hope I see
Beaming straight from the throne of grace
Mercy’s star, and it brings to me
All the light of His holy face. [Refrain]
3 Not a doubt does my fond heart know,
Not a fear lingers in my breast,
Trusting still in His love I go
On my way to that home of rest. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 16:11 Tune Title: [I've a guide, tho' the way be long]
