30. Brighten some pathway

1 On the pathway as you journey,
There are hearts for you to cheer,
There is much for you to do in Jesus’ name;
There are those for whom He suffered,
Who His name will never hear,
If you fail His blessed gospel to proclaim.

Refrain:
Brighten some pathway as you journey along,
Cheer it and bless it with a message of song;
Someone is longing for a kindly word today,
You can help them all along life’s way.

2 There are burdens to be lifted,
There are wrongs that you may right,
Many hungry souls with manna you may feed;
Blinded eyes to you are turning
For the blessed gospel light;
Will you not their tender pleadings quickly heed? [Refrain]

3 There are many hands that beckon,
As you journey on the way,
There are pleading voices raised in piteous cry;
Do not then refuse to scatter
Blessings round you while you may,
For the days are passing, quickly passing by. [Refrain]
