Walk Thou with me, nor let my footsteps stray Apart from Thee, throughout life’s threat’ning way; Be Thou my Guide, the path I cannot see; Close to Thy side, Lord, let me walk with Thee.
Refrain: Dear Savior, let me trust my hand in Thine, And let me know Thy steps are guiding mine; Life’s changing way is ofttimes dark to me, I fear no ill if I may walk with Thee.
Through weary years my way hath miry been; My bitter tears Thy pitying eye hath seen; My fainting heart hath heard Thy voice divine; My trembling hand asks but to rest in Thine.
No earthly foe can give my spirit fear; No threat’ning woe can quail when Thou art near; No tempter’s snare can turn my steps aside; For in Thy care, I’m safe whate’er betide.
