Dark And Thorny Is The Desert
Recorded by Ralph Stanley
Written by Dudley Dale Connell and Don Rigsby

G
Dark and thorny is the desert
C G
Through which pilgrims make their way

Yet beyond this vale of sorrow
D7 G
Lie the fields of endless day


Oh young soldiers are you weary
C G
Of the roughness of the way

Does your strength begin to fail you
D7 G
And your vigor to decay


Jesus Jesus will go with you
C G
He will lead you to His throne

He whose thunder shapes creation
D7 G
He who bids the planets roll


Around Him are ten thousand angels
C G
Ready to obey His command

They’ll all be there to hover round you
D7 G
Till you’ve reached the heavenly land


There on flowery hills of pleasure
C G
Lie the fields of endless rest

Love and joy and peace forever
D7 G
Reign and triumph in your breast
