If Jesus Goes with Me

It may be in the val­ley

Where count­less dan­gers hide;

It may be in the sun­shine

That I

in peace

ab­ide;

But this one thing I know—

If it be dark or fair

If Je­sus is with me

I’ll go any­where!

If Je­sus goes with me

I’ll go any­where!

’Tis Heav­en to me

Where’er I may be

If He is there!

I count it a pri­vi­lege here

His cross to bear

If Je­sus goes with me

I’ll go any­where!

It may be I must car­ry

The bless­èd Word of life

Across the burn­ing des­erts

To those in sin­ful strife;

And though it be my lot

To bear my co­lors there

If Je­sus goes with me

I’ll go any­where!

But if it be my por­tion

To bear my cross at home

While oth­ers bear their bur­dens

Beyond the bil­low’s foam

I’ll prove my faith in Him—

Confess His judg­ments fair

If Je­sus stays with me

I’ll stay any­where!

It is not mine to quest­ion

The judg­ment of my Lord

It is but mine to fol­low

The lead­ings of His Word;

But if to go or stay

Or whe­ther here or there

I’ll be

with my Sav­ior

Content any­where!
