1 The path that leads me to the throne
They say is rough and steep;
I do not travel there alone,
My Lord is there to keep.

Refrain:
My Savior journeys by my side
To keep me day by day;
O, He will guard, and He will guide,
And bless me all the way.

2 Before I reach my home on high,
I’ll pass where sorrows dwell;
But since I have my Savior nigh,
I know that all is well. [Refrain]

3 Before me are the shadows deep,
The valley and the gloam;
But even there the Lord will keep
And lead me safely home. [Refrain]
