I Walk in Danger All the Way

I walk in dan­ger all the way

The thought shall nev­er leave me

That Sa­tan

who has marked his prey

Is plot­ting to de­ceive me.

This foe with hid­den snares

May seize me un­awares

If e’er I fail to watch and pray.

I walk in dan­ger all the way.

I pass through tri­als all the way

With sin and ills con­tend­ing;

In pa­tience I must bear each day

The cross of God’s own send­ing.

Oft in ad­ver­si­ty

I know not where to flee;

When storms of woe my soul dis­may

I pass through tri­als all the way.

Death doth pur­sue me all the way

Nowhere I rest se­cure­ly;

He comes by night

he comes by day

And takes his prey most sure­ly.

A fail­ing breath

and I

In death’s strong grasp may lie

To face eter­ni­ty for aye.

Death doth pur­sue me all the way.

I walk with an­gels all the way

They shield me and be­friend me;

All Sa­tan’s pow­er is held at bay

When heav’n­ly hosts at­tend me;

They are my sure de­fense

All fear and sor­row

hence!

Unharmed by foes

do what they may

I walk with an­gels all the way.

I walk with Je­sus all the way

His guid­ance nev­er fails me;

Within His wounds I find a stay

When Sa­tan’s pow­er as­sails me;

And by His foot­steps led

My path I safe­ly tread.

In spite of ills that threat­en may

I walk with Je­sus all the way.

My walk is heav­en­ward all the way;

Await

my soul

the mor­row

When thou shalt find re­lease for aye

From all thy sin and sor­row.

All world­ly pomp

be­gone!

To Heav­en I now press on.

For all the world I would not stay;

My walk is heav­en­ward all the way.
