Life is like a winding pathway  
 For the multitude of souls,  
 Who are briskly walking onward,  
 Heedless of their final goal\.

Life is mostly what we make it,  
 Straight or crooked, one of twain;  
 We’ll receive just what we merit—  
 Our eternal loss or gain\.

O dear souls\! upon life’s pathway,  
 Lean upon your Savior’s breast;  
 There no foe can e’er molest you,  
 ‘Til you reach eternal rest\.
