Hymn for Sunday

Singing I Go

Words by: Eliza E. Hewitt, 1851-1920
Music by: William J. Kirkpatrick, 1838-1921


The trusting heart to Jesus clings,
Nor any ill forebodes,
But at the cross of Calv'ry sings,
Praise God for lifted loads!

Singing I go along life's road,
Praising the Lord, praising the Lord;
Sing I go along life's road,
For Jesus has lifted my load.

The passing days bring many care,
"Fear not," I hear Him say,
And when my fears are turned to prayers,
The burdens slip away.

Sing I go along life's road,
Praising the Lord, praising the Lord;
Singing I go along life's road,
For Jesus has lifted my load.

He tells me of my Father's love
And never slumb'ring eye;
My everlasting King above
Will all my needs supply.

Singing I go along life's road,
Praising the Lord, praising the Lord;
Singing I go along life's road,
For Jesus has lifted my load.

When to the throne of grace I flee,
I find the promise true,
The mighty arms upholding me
Will bear my burdens too.

Singing I go along life's road
Praising the Lord, praising the Lord;
Singing I go along life's road,
For Jesus has lifted my load.
