The Path of Promise

Author: Elsie Duncan Yale Hymnal: Gospel Gems Number 1 #8 (1914) First Line: Sweet is the path of promise Refrain First Line: "Lo, I will be with thee!" Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the path of promise, Guarded from fear and dread; Over each shade and sorrow Light of his love is shed; Sweet are the words of comfort, Cheering the way I tread. Refrain: “Lo, I will be with thee!” How cheering the word! On this I am leaning; “Thus sayeth the Lord.” Our pathway is brightened All thro’ the dim vale; “I’ll never forsake thee, I’ll never forsake thee, I’ll never forsake thee, Tho’ all else should fail.” 2 Bright is the path of promise, Blessings divine I share; On him who walks beside me Cast I my ev’ry care; Hear I the words of comfort, Message of joy to bear. [Refrain] 3 Peaceful the path of promise, Since I’m an heir divine; Led by his light unfailing, Brightly my hope shall shine; Master of all, be near me, Keep me forever thine. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweet is the path of promise]
