GHS 143 : The End Of The Road Lyrics
GHS 143, “The End Of The Road,” is a hymn of patient, forward-looking faith for believers who are still on the long journey of the Christian life. The road it describes is not short or easy; it is long and the shadows are real. But the hymn keeps pointing to what lies at the end: glorious light, eternal day, the face of the dearest Friend, and a homecoming that makes all the hard years worthwhile. Looking back over the trials from that vantage point, the believer will trace the hand of Christ through every one of them.
This hymn appears as number 143 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it gives particular encouragement to believers who are in a season of extended difficulty and need a reminder that the road does come to an end.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 143: The End Of The Road
- When I come to the end of the long, long road, The shadows will flee away, And I’ll stand in the glorious light of God, Where dwelleth eternal day.
When I come to the end, the end of the road, To the land of eternity, When I come to the end of life’s long road, The face of my Lord I’ll see.
-
Looking back o’er the years that were hard and drear, The hand of the Christ I’ll see; While my heart will go forth with a song of praise, Because of His love for me.
-
When I come to the end of the long, long road, And trials will all be past, I shall look in the face of my dearest Friend, Safe home in His heav’n at last.
