Walk Thou with Me

lyricist: E. B. Barnes, 1911
Composer: Homer Rodeheaver, 1911

Walk Thou with me

nor let my foot­steps stray

Apart from Thee

through­out life’s threat­en­ing way;

Be Thou my guide

the path I can­not see;

Close to Thy side

Lord

let me walk with Thee.

Dear Sav­ior

let me trust my hand in Thine

And let me know Thy steps are guid­ing mine;

Life’s chang­ing way is oft times dark to me

I fear no ill if I may walk with Thee.

Through wea­ry years my way hath mi­ry been;

My bit­ter tears Thy pi­ty­ing eye hath seen;

My faint­ing heart hath heard Thy voice di­vine;

My trem­bling hand asks but to rest in Thine.

No earth­ly foe can give my spir­it fear;

No threat­en­ing woe can quail when Thou art near;

No tempt­er’s snare can turn my steps aside

For in Thy care

I’m safe what­e’er be­tide.
