What’s the goal you have in view Along the path of life? Far beyond our vision, friend, Is my journey’s blessèd end; Heavenward my footsteps wend Along the path of life. 2. Pilgrim, why not halt and rest Along the path of life? Quickly on your way you’ve pressed Along the path of life. Nay, but through His precious grace Soon I’ll end this earthly race; I have no abiding place Along the path of life. 3. Pilgrim, why look you so glad Along the path of life? Nearing home, should I be sad Along the path of life? Where yon crystal towers shine I shall see my King divine, And eternal bliss be mine Beyond this path of life.
