1  'Tis so sweet to walk with Jesus,

       Step by step and day by day;

    Stepping in His very footprints,

       Walking with Him all the way.

 2  'Tis so safe to walk with Jesus,

       Leaning hard upon His arm,

    Following closely where He leads us,

       None can hurt and naught can harm.

 3  Step by step I'll walk with Jesus,

       Just a moment at a time,

    Heights I have not wings to soar to,

       Step by step my feet can climb.

 4  All the way I'll walk with Jesus,

       Through the sunshine, through the gloom,

    Though His blood-marked steps may lead me

       To the garden, to the tomb.

 5  Here a while we walk with Jesus,

       But the time will not be long

    Till the night shall change to morning,

       And the sorrow into song.

 6  Then, with all who walked with Jesus,

       We shall walk with Him in white,

    While He turns our grief to gladness,

       And our darkness into light.

 7  Jesus, keep me closer — closer,

       Step by step, and day by day;

    Stepping in Thy very footprints,

       Walking with Thee all the way.
