The Man of Galilee (Lozier)

lyricist: John Lozier (1832–1907)
Composer: Matthew McPhail (1854–1931)

I am on a shin­ing path­way

A-down life’s short­en­ing years

And my heart hath known its sor­rows

Mine eyes have seen their tears;

But I saw those sha­dows flee

And the shin­ing light I see

While I’m trust­ing in the mer­it

Of the Man of Ga­li­lee.

My poor soul has had its con­flicts

With migh­ty hosts of sin

With the dead­ly foes without me

And dark­er foes with­in;

But I saw those le­gions flee

And my soul found vic­to­ry

When I trust­ed in the mer­it

Of the Man of Ga­li­lee.

I am com­ing near the ci­ty

My Sav­ior’s hands have piled

And I know my Fa­ther’s wait­ing

To wel­come home His child;

For un­wor­thy though I be

He will find a place for me

For He is the King of Glo­ry

The Man of Ga­li­lee.
