Joyful Lays ‎#131

131. Beautiful Way

1 Beautiful way, hallowed and blest,
Leading us home to a mansion of rest;
Wisdom declares, happy are they,
Walking with God in the beautiful way.

2 Softly a voice murmurs within,
Turn from the world and the pleasures of sin;
Come and rejoice; why will ye stay?
Walk in the shining, the beautiful way.

3 Beautiful way, peaceful and bright,
Gently from Eden reflecting the light;
Cheerful the beam, tranquil the ray,
Guiding the soul in the beautiful way.

4 Beautiful way, gladly we sing,
Praise the thanksgiving to Jesus we bring;
Still may His love teach us to pray,
Help us to walk in the beautiful way.
