Oh, Lord, have mercy on this weary soul of mine

May I walk in Your light every day

And when I cross that deep silent river

I'll be happy in that home far away

I wandered away from the straight and the narrow

Driftin' like a ship lost at sea

No lighthouse to guide my weary footsteps

But Jesus answered my plea

Oh, Lord, have mercy on this weary soul of mine

May I walk in Your light every day

And when I cross that deep silent river

I'll be happy in that home far away

The lights are bright, no longer I'm blinded

From the bondage of sin I'm free

He lifted me up to the joy of salvation

I'll live on eternally

Oh, Lord, have mercy on this weary soul of mine

May I walk in Your light every day

And when I cross that deep silent river

I'll be happy in that home far away

Oh, Lord, have mercy on this weary soul of mine

May I walk in Your light every day

And when I cross that deep silent river

I'll be happy in that home far away
