The way is clear

Representative Text

1 Is the pathway clear which your feet must tread,
Is your Savior’s light by His mercy shed?
As you take your way through the valley drear,
At the eventide, is your pathway clear?

Refrain:
Oh, the way is clear, the way is clear!
Heav’n’s glad new song falls on my ear!
And my soul’s sweet home, by His grace I near;
Praise His blessed name, the way is clear!

2 Is the pathway clear, does your faith increase,
Do you feel His joy, do you know His peace?
In His perfect love do you cast out fear,
Do you prove Him true, is the pathway clear? [Refrain]

3 Is the pathway clear, do the gates unfold,
And your Savior’s face shall your eyes behold?
Does His presence bless and His promise cheer,
At the parting hour is the pathway clear? [Refrain]
