Tread the Trails of Glory

Tread the Trails of Glory

Text: John A. Dalles, May 18, 2012

Tune: RACHIE

Meter: 6565D with refrain

Tread the trails of glory,

Serving Christ the king;

Step by step in daily living,

Loudest praises bring!

Joining in the journey,

Walking in Christ’s way

In the presence of the Savior,

Through the day!

Refrain:

Tread the trails of glory,

Serving Christ the king;

Step by step in daily living,

Loudest praises bring!

Jesus calls disciples

To become His friends,

In the company of caring,

So Jesus sends.

Onward through the ages,

Outward to the world,

Filled with confidence and joy, now

Serve the Living Lord!

Refrain:

Sisters, will you join us?

Brothers, shall you share?

Friends, delight in reaching others,

Here and everywhere!

Bring the gifts and talents

God has given you—

As you give them, Christ will use them;

See what Christ can do!

Refrain:
