When the road we tread is rough

Author: Richard Slater (1854-1939) Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: In the fight, say, does your heart grow weary Lyrics: 1 In the fight, say, does your heart grow weary? Do you find your path is rough and thorny, And above the sky is dark and stormy? Never mind, go on! Lay aside all fear, and onward pressing, Bravely fight and God will give his blessing; Though the war at times may prove distressing, Never mind, go on! Refrain: When the road we tread is rough, Let us bear in mind, In our Saviour strength enough We may always find; Though the fighting may be tough Let our motto be: Go on, go on to victory! 2 Faithful be, delaying not to follow Where Christ leads, though it may be through sorrow; If the strife should fiercer grow tomorrow, Never mind, go on! Cheerful be, it will your burdens lighten, One glad heart will always others brighten; Though the strife the coward’s soul may frighten, Never mind, go on! 3 When downhearted, look away to Jesus, Who for you did shed his blood most precious; Let us say, though all the world should hate us: Never mind, go on! Do your best in fighting for your Saviour, For his sake fear not to lose men’s favour; If beside you should a comrade waver, Never mind, go on! Topics: The salvation soldier Warfare

O Saviour, now to thee we raise
