16323. He Will Meet Us By The Way

1 In the jour­ney of life,
When trou­bled thoughts arise,
Like the bil­lows up­on the sea,
Let us look un­to Him whose
Tender, lov­ing arm
Our pre­sent help will be.

Refrain:
He will meet us by the way,
Yes, He’ll meet us by the way,
And our hearts with burn with love,
When we think of the joy, the
Never end­ing rest,
For us pre­pared above.

2 He will cheer as He cheered
His faith­ful ones of old,
When they mourned for their ab­sent Lord,
And com­mune with His children
Walking in the path
He taught them in His word. [Refrain]

3 O the peace that will come
Like ear­ly morn­ing dew,
When in sec­ret we kneel in pray­er,
And the door of the soul to
All the world is closed,
With on­ly Jesus there! [Refrain]
