In the ways of the Lord I am finding a song,
And the works of his hands every note shall prolong;
I will sing it on earth, and will sing it above,
For the ways of my Lord are the footprints of love.
Oh, bright stairway of love!
Golden stairway above!
Faith is lending her wings.
As my soul soars and sings;
I can run and not weary,
I can walk and not faint.
Clouds oft cover his feet, and but dimly I see,
Yet I know, step by step, he is still leading me,
For the shinings, so clear, bring me gladsome surprise.
All my steppings with him lead me nearer the skies.
Oh, bright stairway of love!
Golden stairway above!
Faith is lending her wings.
As my soul soars and sings;
I can run and not weary,
I can walk and not faint.
All the buffeting; thorns grace is changing I find
Into steps of tried gold, steps that heavenward wind;
I will triumph in Jesus, and trustingly cry,
Lead my feet to the Rock that is higher than I.
Oh, bright stairway of love!
Golden stairway above!
Faith is lending her wings.
As my soul soars and sings;
I can run and not weary,
I can walk and not faint.
I can sing in his ways, while unable to know
What his love will reveal as advancing I go,
'Mid the glory that shines all the way to the throne
I will shout hallelujah for the heaven begun.
Oh, bright stairway of love!
Golden stairway above!
Faith is lending her wings.
As my soul soars and sings;
I can run and not weary,
I can walk and not faint.
