Verse
But which way shall I take in this darkness of night?
I'm a pilgrim a-weary and spent is my light.
To the right? To the left? Ah me, if I knew!
But the night is so dark, and the passers so few.

Chorus 1
Near, near thee, my son, stands the old wayside cross,
Like a beckon of light to a world that is lost;
And its crossbeam doth point to that bright golden span
That bridges the waters so safely for man,
That bridges those dark waters so safely for man.

[Repeat Verse]

Chorus 2
Near, near thee, loved one, stands the old wayside cross,
On which Jesus died and suffered such loss;
And its crossbeam doth point to that bright golden span
That bridges the waters so safely for man,
That bridges those dark waters so safely for man.
