Walk Beside Me

Walk beside me, O, my Saviour,

Through the morning's sparkling dew,

Then as daylight grows still brighter,

For each task my strength renew:

When the evening spreads its shadows

O'er the way that I must go,

Still thy presence close beside me

Will to me sweet peace bestow.

Walk beside me, O, my Saviour,

Through this darkening vale of tears,

For if Thou art close beside me

My faint heart can keep no fears:

When at last the morning breaketh

In the land of endless day,

Still my prayer shall be, dear Saviour,

Walk beside me all the way. . .
