Midi file now playing Alleluia

The Rugged Way



I am bringing my child to the Heavenly land
I am leading her day by day
I am asking her now, as I hold her hand
To come home by the rugged way

A way that never herself would choose
For it's beauties she does not see
And she knoweth not yet what her soul would lose
If she trod not that path with me.

I will walk by her side when the road is wild
I will ever my succour lend
She shall lean on my strength: I will shield my child
While the shaddows of life descend.

I will point to the stars in the midnight sky
And tell of the lights of Home
I will comfort her heart as the hours go by
With the thoughts of the joys to come.

I will carry her over the silver stream
I will sing to her songs of peace
And a joy more full than she ever could dream
Shall be hers when life shall cease.

I will waken her gently in realms of bliss
In the light of eternal day
And my child shall be glowing with thankfulness
That I brought her the Rugged Way.
