Step by Step (Ulmer)

When the sha­dows thick­ly ga­ther

Clouding all thy on­ward way

Think not what shall be to­mor­row;

Seek God’s help just for to­day.

Step by step He leads me on­ward

Step by step the way re­veals;

But what in the fu­ture li­eth

In His mer­cy He con­ceals.

Should the com­ing days bring bur­dens

Or be fraught with grief or care

Trust Him in the hour of tr­ial

He will make thee strong to bear.

Daily strength He ev­er giv­eth

For each day rich grace be­stows;

And each mor­row

as it dawn­eth

Still His lov­ing­kind­ness shows.

Then why should we shrink or fal­ter

When the on­ward path looks dim

Knowing light will nev­er fail us

While we walk by faith with Him?
