The Old Sheep Know the Road

Refrain:

O, the old sheep know the road,
The old sheep know the road,
The young lambs must find the way.

O, sooner in the morning when I rise,
With crosses and trials on every side;
My brother, ain't you got your accounts all sealed?
You'd better go get them before you leave this field.
O, shout, my sister, for you are free,
For Christ has brought you liberty;
I really do believe without one doubt,
That the Christian has a mighty right to shout.
My brother, better mind how to walk on the cross,
For your foot might slip and your soul get lost;
Better mind that sun and see how she runs,
And mind, don't let her catch you with your work undone.
