Lyrics

If path­less for­ests meet my view,
I will not doubt or fear;
What has been done that I can do,
My way shall be made clear.

Refrain

I’ve de­cid­ed, Lord, that I will fol­low Thee,
Anywhere, any­where,
Over the land or ov­er the sea,
It mat­ters not where it may be,
For I’ve de­cid­ed, Lord, to fol­low Thee,
Anywhere.

No track­less plain my faith can dim,
Despite its vast do­main;
But with my faith made strong in Him,
I’ll sing my glad re­frain.

Refrain

No sea too deep nor wide for me,
With faith shall I em­bark;
For He who walked on Ga­li­lee
Will safe­ly guide my bark.

Refrain

So any­where and ev­ery­where
In plea­sure, woe or pain;
My cross alone I do not bear,
Nor do I trust in vain.
