1. Show me the way brother, show me the way,
Up to the land of rest,
Where at the table of Jesus our Lord,
I may be hailed a guest!
Long have I wandered a wearisome path,
Wearisome at the best,
Show me the way brother, show me the way,
Up to the land of rest!
Show me the way brother, show me the way,
Up to the land of rest!
Show me the way brother, show me the way,
Up to the land of rest!
