Brother, as along life’s way you go If your burdens bend you low And your weary steps are growing slow beneath your load Let the Savior give a helping hand All your needs He’ll understand As you plod along this lonesome, long lonesome road
It’s a lonesome road ( lonesome, lonesome road ) Thru a world of care ( thru a world of care ) As you travel along ( as you travel along ) Seem to get nowhere ( seem to get nowhere ) Ask the blessed Lord ( ask the blessed Lord ) Bear your heavy load ( bear your heavy load ) He’ll guide you on this lonesome, long lonesome road
When your dearest friends have turned you down And the whole world seems to frown When old Satan tries to steal your crown with his goad Trust in Jesus and I’m sure you’ll find Him a leader, true and kind He’ll guide you on that lonesome, long lonesome road
Better get your knees on dusty ground And your soul for Heaven bound Then the glory light will shine around you abode With your spirit free from sin and doubt “Hallelujah” you will shout As you travel down this lonesome, long lonesome road.
