*Pastor’s Note: A.B. Simpson was a very well respected Canadian preacher, theologian and author who lived from December 15, 1843 to October 29, 1919. My prayer is that you will be blessed and inspired by his poetry as much as I am.

HOLDING ON THE WAY

’Tis the promise of God, and it never can fail,
     Unto all who will trust and obey;
Though trials may press, and though foes may assail,
     The righteous shall hold on his way.

I shall hold on my way for He holds my hand,
     And He’ll not let me stumble or stray;
While I heed His voice and obey His command,
     I surely shall hold on my way.
