The path, though steep and nar¤row,
My wea¤ry feet must tread;
I will not grieve nor mur¤mur,
My Lord is just a¤head.
¤Though sin is rag¤ing round me
And I must face the ¤foe,
My hope and shield is Je¤sus
And so I on¤ward go.

Chorus:
Strong¤er than the strong is ¤He,
Strong to give the vic¤to¤ry;
He is in¤ter¤ced¤ing, With the Fa¤ther plead¤ing,
Strong¤er than the strong is He.
Strong¤er than the strong is He,
Strong to give the vic¤to¤ry;

A¤mid the storm and tem¤pest,
I hear His voice so sweet;
He speaks my soul to com¤fort,
And stay my wa¤v’ring feet.
¤His hand is good up¤on me,
And I re¤joice to ¤know
That Je¤sus is my lead¤er
And so I on¤ward go.

Though great the trib¤u¤la¤tion,
Ex¤ceed¤ing great the prize;
The glo¤ry is e¤ter¤nal,
And joy that nev¤er dies.
¤I have His pres¤ence with me,
A¤mid earth’s pain and ¤woe;
He is my con¤so¤la¤tion,
And so I on¤ward go.
