| 1 | All the path the saints are treading, |
| Trodden by the Son of God; |
| All the sorrows they are feeling, |
| Felt by Him upon the road; |
| All the darkness, and the sorrow |
| From around and from within, |
| All the joy and all the triumph, |
| He passed through apart from sin. |
|
| 2 | Now come forth in resurrection, |
| Passing onward to the throne, |
| Having suffered all the judgment, |
| Borne the storm of wrath alone; |
| He is able thus to succor |
| Those who tread the desert sand, |
| Pressing on to resurrection, |
| Where He sits at God's right hand. |
|
| 3 | Now He praises in th' assembly, |
| Now the sorrow all is passed; |
| His the earnest of our portion, |
| We must reach the goal at last. |
| Yes, He praises; grace recounting |
| All the path already trod, |
| We associated with Him— |
| God, our Father and our God. |
|
| 4 | Join the singing that He leadeth, |
| Loud to God our voices raise; |
| Every step that we have trodden |
| Is a triumph of His grace: |
| Whether joy, or whether trial, |
| All can only work for good, |
| For He healeth all—who loves us, |
| And hath bought us with His blood. |
|
| 5 | It is finished! It is finished! |
| Who can tell redemption's worth? |
| He who knows it leads the singing, |
| Full the joy, as fierce the wrath. |
| Taken up in resurrection, |
| Desert ways rehearsed above, |
| Tell the power of God's salvation, |
| And His never-failing love. |
