As we journey down life's pathway Past the milestones, one by one And we see the shadows lengthen As we go toward the setting sun. It is good to feel the handclasp Of the old friends tried and true; And to see their smiling faces And know the smile's for you. It is good to get the greeting From the old friends far away. And to read the wistful message "Wish I were with you today" It is good to pause a moment As we journey down life's way; Just to stop to be a neighbor And a word of kindness say. It is good we can look backward On years in this service spent. Willingly we did each duty, On this errands gladly went. Till we can say with Paul of Jesus As at last the end we see I have fought the good fight, Master I have kept the faith in thee. |
