Through Every Ascent And Decline (To Dad from Isle Royale)

Through Every Ascent And Decline by Robert M. Hinnen

This wilderness path traverses steep inclines and deep descents
With rambling roots and stumbling rocks hobbling our journey
Oh, but to overcome our sin and pride and willful disobedience
See the sacrifice of the supreme Sojourner on Mount Calvary

Faith alone in Christ Jesus is the Way, the Truth and abundant Life
Give Him your burdens for He has already born all that truly matters
He never leaves behind even one redeemed by His grace and Light
Guiding us through every dark valley and beside peaceful waters

Joy comes in the morn when these temporal tribulations we endure
The straight and narrow road ahead leads to our heavenly home
Hear the angels rejoicing as we finish this arduous adventure
Finding the rest we seek in the loving embrace of Christ alone!

“So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,”
Proverbs 2:20-21 ESV
