1 Whate’er the road which I must tread,
Whate’er my lot may be,
One thought I never can forget—
For Jesus died for me.

Refrain:
Jesus died, He died for me,
But he liveth, He liveth again,
And some day the King I’ll see
Hallelujah, amen.

2 When sins like mountains on me pressed,
For healing I did flee
Unto the fount of Jesus’ blood,
The blood He shed for me. [Refrain]

3 And lo, the precious cleansing flood,
Which over me did flow,
Washed every stain from off my soul,
And made me white as snow. [Refrain]

4 And now I walk the narrow road,
Although I cannot see,
I know by faith that I am safe,
For Jesus died for me. [Refrain]
