I Near the Grave, Where'er I Go

Author: Hans A. Brorson Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I near the grave, where'er I go, Where'er my pathway tendeth; If rough or pleasant here below, My way at death's gate endeth. I have no other choice; Between my griefs and joys My mortal life is ordered so: I near the grave, where'er I go. 2 I go to heaven, where'er I go, If Jesus' steps I follow; The crown of life He will bestow, When earth this frame shall swallow. If through this tearful vale I in that course prevail, And walk with Jesus here below, I go to heaven, where'er I go. Amen.
I Near the Grave, Where'er I Go

I Near the Grave, Where'er I Go

Author: Hans A. Brorson Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #603 (1937) Lyrics: 1 I near the grave, where'er I go, Where'er my pathway tendeth; If rough or pleasant here below, My way at death's gate endeth. I have no other choice; Between my griefs and joys My mortal life is ordered so: I near the grave, where'er I go. 2 I go to heaven, where'er I go, If Jesus' steps I follow; The crown of life He will bestow, When earth this frame shall swallow. If through this tearful vale I in that course prevail, And walk with Jesus here below, I go to heaven, where'er I go. Amen.
