[Refrain] 3 Tramp, tramp, tramp till a drunkard’s grave Hides the broken life of shame, While souls that Jesus has died to save Meet a future we dare not name; God help us all—there’s a cross to bear, And work to do for the mighty throng; God give us strength, till the toil and prayer Shall give place to the victor’s song.
