Hi TIA
Thanks to this recording, I found the lyrics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW5ZVdZI3v4
The pathway of sin so long I have trod
'Til Jesus came from above (from the realms above)
He spoke peace to me O glory to God
What mercy. What wondrous love (what wondrous love)
Chorus
O glory to God He's holding my hand
He safely will guide I know
He lifted me up and caused me to stand
O that's why I love Him so
Though friends in this land may turn me away
Yet Christ will my prayers attend (He will attend)
I'm glad in my heart that now I can say
That Jesus is my best friend (is my best friend)
Chorus
I am happy today while going along
The Savior is kind and true (He's kind and true)
He lifted me up and gave me a song
I sing it the whole day through (the whole day through)
Here's The Mount Carmel Baptist Church Choir's rendition
