I don’t see lyrics to Blind Alfred Reed’s “Walking in the Way With Jesus,” either, so I’ll post them here:
Come all you people ’round
Listen what I have to say
I’ll sing you a song about the heavenly throng
Thank God I’m on my way
I’ve traveled the paths of sin
And many a crime I’ve done
But I trust in God
and through Christ’s blood
Thank God the victory’s wonWalking in the way with Jesus
Feeling mighty happy now
When I’m tempted to do wrong
Before the Lord I bow
I ask him for protection
And we begin to fight
And tis not long till the tempter’s gone
and everything’s all rightI came to the feet of Jesus
Determined to do right
I prayed and trusted night and day
Until I saw the light
I’ve started now for heaven
I’m taking a different trail
I’m trusting now in the promises of God
For I know they cannot failWalking in the way with Jesus
Feeling mighty happy now
When I’m tempted to do wrong
Before the Lord I bow
I ask him for protection
And we begin to fight
And tis not long till the tempter’s gone
and everything’s all rightGod leads me to the Bible
Where I can plainly see
That Jesus hung on Calvary’s cross and died for you and me
I’m sorry now for sinners
For you I’m sick at heart
Why can’t you decide for Christ today
And never from him part?Walking in the way with Jesus
Feeling mighty happy now
When I’m tempted to do wrong
Before the Lord I bow
I ask him for protection
And we begin to fight
And tis not long till the tempter’s gone
And everything’s all rightI gave up sin and drinking
To live a different life
And by God’s grace I will hold out
Till freed from toil and strife
Then when life’s book is opened
And not a thing is found
I’ll gladly join the angel choir and receive the promised crownWalking in the way with Jesus
Feeling mighty happy now
When I’m tempted to do wrong
Before the Lord I bow
I ask him for protection
And we begin to fight
And tis not long till the tempter’s gone
and everything’s all right
“Sin and drinking” — two distinct categories? Or is it an epexegetical construction (“Sin, that is, drinking”)?
