When I come to the end,
That world­lings love so well?
It lead­eth away from thy God;
With joy I will fol­low to­day,
With joy I will fol­low to­day,
For had not God told him, that royal abode
What mul­ti­tudes of thought­less souls,
Keep me safe­ly while I roam
Through jun­gles, slug­gish seas, and mount­ain pass,

The road

His wife des­pised him in her heart;
His wife des­pised him in her heart;
The pil­grim’s foot­prints that I see,
Where the race of men go by,
To the land of eter­ni­ty,
The op­en road to hell.
It ends in the ci­ty of God.
When I get to the end of the way,
When I get to the end of the way,
He looked for a city; if sometimes he sighed
But yon­der see that nar­row way,
If the road be rough and steep,
Prepare across the earth the King’s high­way.
Whate’er my lot may be,
