Surely Goodness And Mercy

Words by John W. Peterson and Alfred B. Smith


A pilgrim was I, and a-wander'ng
in the cold night of sin I did roam,
when Jesus the kind Shepherd found me,
and now I am on my way home.

Chorus:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days, all the days of my life.

He restoreth my soul when I'm weary,
He giveth me strength day by day;
He leads me beside the still waters,
He guards me each step of the way.

When I walk through the dark lonesome valley,
my Saviour will walk with me there;
And safely His great hand will lead me
to the mansions He's gone to prepare.
[To Chorus then Outro]

Outro:
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
and I shall feast at the table spread for me;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days, all the days of my life.
