Lyrics

If thou wouldst have the dear Sav­ior from Hea­ven
Walk by thy side from the morn till the ev­en,
There is a rule that each day you must fol­low,
Humble thy­self to walk with God.

Refrain

Humble thy­self, and the Lord will draw near thee;
Humble thy­self, and His pre­sence will cheer thee;
He will not walk with the proud or the scorn­ful;
Humble thy­self to walk with God.

Just as the Lord in the world’s ear­ly ag­es
Walked and com­muned with the pro­phets and sag­es,
He will come now if you meet the con­di­tions,
Humble thy­self to walk with God.

Refrain

Just as the stream finds a bed that is low­ly,
So Je­sus walks with the pure and the holy;
Cast out thy pride, and in heart­felt con­tri­tion,
Humble thy­self to walk with God.
