Some Heart Has Gone This Way Before

Tho’ rough may be thy path

and long

Remember! that with grief as sore

And bur­dens larg­er far than thine

Some heart has gone this way be­fore.

Trust then in Christ! His arm will guide

Each faith­ful one thro’ Jor­dan’s tide;

Hope on! the race will soon be past

And vic­to­ry will come at last.

Tho’ dark may be the ga­ther­ing night;

Tho’ loud and long the storm may roar;

Take cour­age! thou art not the first

Some heart has gone this way be­fore.

Some heart has gone this way be­fore

Some feet have scaled this diz­zy height;

Some yearn­ing eyes have pierced the gloom

And seen the dawn of Heav­en’s light.

So thou

dear pil­grim

too

canst go;

Some day thy tri­als will be o’er;

For un­to rest and peace be­yond

Some heart has gone this way be­fore.
