Representative Text

1 There's an old, old path,
And the sun shines through
Life's dark storm clouds
From its home of blue,

Refrain:
In this old, old path made strangely sweet
By the touch divine of his blessed feet.

2 Find the old, old path,
'Twill be ever new,
Fro the Savior walks
All the way with you, [Refrain]

3 In this old, old path,
Are my friends most dear,
And I walk with them,
With the angels near, [Refrain]

4 'Tis an old, old path,
Shadowed vales between,
Yet I fearless walk
With the Nazarene, [Refrain]
