Out from the Hedges of This Life

Out from the hedg­es of this life

And to the Lord your serv­ice give;

Out from the way of wrong

And go the way of hon­or;

Out from the way that is a strife

And go the way that you should live

Then the an­gels of the heav’ns will sing.

Sing of His name with praise to Him

Sing of His love and pow­er to save

Sing of the love and glad­ness there

Over in that home be­yond the grave.

Go ye among the ways of sin

And throw a light to some poor soul

Over the dark­ness of this life

’Twill shine the bright­est;

Into some heart a light with­in

Would be a lov­ing

kind pa­trol

Leading him in­to the home of homes.

Then your re­ward will be with Him

Whose light shall shine for­ev­er more

Over the toils of life

You’ll say ’tis well for­ev­er;

Into a world that ne’er shall end

And where you’ll walk the gold­en shore

Singing prais­es with the an­gels fair.
