This road I walk
is straight and narrow
But leads to a better home
It was laid by Christ
one day at calvary
While he suffered all alone
Now this road may lead
over many high mountains
and valleys dark and low
But I'll walk each day
with sweet assurance
that I'll safely reach my goal
Ahead there is joy
and gladness
And rest for my weary soul
Ahead there is peace
and contentment
Everybody will
be happy and whole
You know that I'll be
at home with Jesus
Where tears will
never be shed
Though so often this road
gets rough and rocky
Still I know what lies ahead
While on this road
I get so weary
And often my feet would stray
But a gentle hand
still leads me onward
And helps me to find my way
As I climb each hill
and cross each valley
By his hand I'm daily led
And I won't look back
I'm gonna keep right
on a-walkin'
'Cause I know what lies ahead
Ahead there is joy
and gladness
And rest for my weary soul
Ahead there is peace
and contentment
Everybody will
be happy and whole
You know that I'll be
at home with Jesus
Where tears will
never be shed
Though so often this road
gets rough and rocky
Still I know what lies ahead
Though so often this road
gets rough and rocky
Still I know what lies ahead
