Rest From My Journey

Rest From My Journey

 

Troubles and trials

In this life are many

And long is the road

That leads me home

Often I find

I know not the way

As on my journey

I travel along

But I fret not or fear not

For I’ve a companion

Who’s always beside me

And the way to him is known

My trust is in him

Like a flock to their Shepard

To find them green pasture

And lead them back home

 

Yes I’ll trust in Jesus

He’s gone on before me

He’s fought all my battles

He’s defeated my foes

A mansion is waiting

For this weary traveler

There will be rest from my journey

There will be rest for my soul

 

Often I find

That I grow so weary

As the mountains I climb

Grow higher it seems

And just when I feel like

I can’t walk no farther

He picks me up in his arms

And carries me

 

Yes I’ll follow Jesus

For he’s gone on before me

He’s fought all my battles

He’s defeated my foes

A mansion is waiting

For this weary traveler

There will be rest from my journey

There will be rest for my soul
