He will be our guide even to the end.
Psalm 48:14
Words: Alfred H. Ackley, 1911.
Music: Bentley D. Ackley (🔊 pdf nwc). Some hymnals show the composer as Lloyd Ten Eyck, Ackley’s pseudonym.
Thro’ life’s pilgrim way
I’ll journey with my Savior,
In the night of care
He’ll lead me to the day,
Till I enter Heaven’s
Portals by His favor,
Trusting, I will go
With Jesus all the way.
Refrain
I’ll go with Him all the way to glory,
I will go with Jesus all the way,
Till I stand within
The homeland portals,
I will go with Jesus all the way.
He will never, never
Leave me nor forsake me;
If in Him I put my trust
I shall not stray,
For He knows the path
That leadeth thro’ the valley,
And with Him there’s light
And glory all the way.
Refrain
Even now I seem
To hear the songs of glory,
From the souls that stand
Redeemed before His throne;
I rejoice, for some day
I shall sing that story,
Of the Christ who brought
Me safely to my home.
Refrain
When the enemies
Of Jesus would alarm me,
Then I cry for help
To Him who is my friend,
And He always answers
E’er my foes can harm me,
He who conquered death
Will keep me to the end.
Refrain
