1.Life was like a pathway, uncertain was the trial;

Suddenly on hill top, suddenly in a vale

The green and grassy meadows, did fade into desert sands,

Fair and well known regions, led to the less familiar lands.

2.‘Neath a heavy burden, along this lonesome way,

Aimless I wandered, wond’ring what yonder lay;

And when at last I gave up, in this path of shattered dreams

Then I met my saviour, Who told me of higher themes

3.Hand in hand with Jesus, do I now bravely go

Nothing can alarm me, He’s gone this way, I know;

My life now has direction, the course is now well defined

Bright and hope filled future has shadowed the days behind.

4.Jesus is now standing outside your heart today,

Hasten, Oh dear brother, call Him in-don’t delay

Then join us in our journey, in Christ you will find a friend;

Who will never leave you, until you have reached the end 

5.Not without afflictions, valleys are just the same,

Not without temptation, trials of fire and flame,

‘Tis not without a hindrance, yet go on, my friend, go on;

Trial turns into highway, and sighing turn into song.

6.Life is like a highway, no more a beaten trial,

Steadily ascending leading to riven veil;

And lo! The gates are opened the loved ones do welcome me;

Vanish then the highway, and enter Eternity
