The Wide, Wide World

They tell me there are dan­gers

In the path my feet must tread;

But they can­not see the glo­ry

That is shin­ing round my head.

Oh

’tis Je­sus leads my foot­steps!

He has made my heart His own.

For I would not dare the jour­ney

Thro’ the wide

wide world alone.

They tell me life has tri­als

And the fair­est hopes must flee;

But I trust my all to Je­sus

And I know He cares for me.

I know my heart is sin­ful

And my love seems all too small;

But if Je­sus’ arm is round me

I shall win and con­quer all.
