Path of Righteousness

On the path of righteousness-The road is sometimes rough and steep

There we shall repent and confess-Kept safe within God’s keep.

We walk a long obedience -In the same holy direction 

We press on through unforeseen events-To make sure our election

On the path of righteousness -The way is narrow and is straight

This long highway of holiness -Leads forth from the narrow gate

This is the way of sovereign grace-Paved with Christ’s pure righteousness 

With joy and gladness we keep the pace-Upon the way of blessedness 

Ever on our shepherd leads-For his own very name’s sake

And all God’s sign posts we shall heed-As of his mercies we partake

For this sojourn is the way-Called the highway of holiness

And we shall never go astray-Upon this path of righteousness.

The path is packed by glory’s weight-And glory lends its light

It leads on to heaven’s gate-Through shadows of the darkest night

Gladness and joy attend our days-As on the journey we progress

Upon this holy pilgrim way-The highway of holiness.
