As you journey along o’er the highway of life,
If you’d safely be led day by day,
Follow Jesus your Guide and keep close to his side,
He will lead ev’ry step of the way.
For yourself do not choose or the way you will lose,
Ask of One who is near day by day,
In temptation’s dark hour he will arm you with pow’r,
He will lead ev’ry step of the way.
In the work that you do O be earnest and true,
Seek the strength that can never delay,
He is safe who depends on the surest of friends,
Who will lead ev’ry step of the way.
Chorus
He will lead ev’ry step of the way!
Yes, he’ll lead ev’ry step of the way!
Follow Jesus your Guide, and keep close to his side,
He will lead ev’ry step of the way.
Alice Jean Cleator
Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace
Our path when we wont to stray;
Stream from the fount of heav’nly grace,
Brook by the trav’ler’s way.
Bread of our souls, whereon we feed;
True manna from on high;
Our guide and chart, wherein we read
Of realms beyond the sky.
Word of the ever-living God,
Will of his glorious Son:-
Without thee, how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?
Yet to unfold thy hidden worth,
Thy mysteries to reveal,
That Spirit which first gave thee forth
Thy volume must unseal.
And we, if we aright would learn
The wisdom it imparts,
Must to its heavenly teaching turn
With simple, childlike hearts.
Bernard Barton
