1 As wand’ring on life’s journey
Our duty to fulfill,
We meet with disappointments,
Be God our helper still;
Then, though we feel discouraged,
Hope still will point the way
Through scenes of toil and darkness
To everlasting day.

2 O Father! lead us onward,
And be our journey blest,
Till, all our labors ended,
We come to Thee for rest;
And hope shall fill our bosoms,
Till, standing near the throne,
We hear the blessèd sentence,
"Thou child of God, well done!"
