Christian! Walk Carefully

Christian! walk care­ful­ly—dan­ger is near;

Work out thy jour­ney with trem­bling and fear;

Snares from with­out

and temp­ta­tions with­in

Seek to en­tice thee again in­to sin.

Christian! walk hum­bly—ex­ult not in pride;

All that thou hast is by Je­sus sup­plied;

He hold­eth thee up

He di­rect­eth thy ways

To Him the glo­ry—to Him be the praise.

Christian! walk cheer­ful­ly

though the dark storm

Fill the bright sky with the clouds of alarm:

Soon will the clouds and the tem­pest be past

And thou shalt dwell with thy Sav­ior at last.

Christian! walk stead­fast­ly

while it is light;

Swift are ap­proach­ing the shades of the night:

All that thy mas­ter hath bid­den thee do

Haste to per­form

for the mo­ments are few.

Christian! walk pray­er­ful­ly—oft wilt thou fall

If thou for­get on thy Sav­ior to call:

Safe shalt thou walk through each tri­al and care

If thou art clad in the ar­mor of pray­er.

Christian! walk joy­ful­ly—trou­ble and pain

Cease when the hav­en of rest thou dost gain;

This thy bright glo­ry

and this thy re­ward

Enter thou in­to the joy of thy Lord!
