Lyrics

If the Sav­ior jour­ney with me,
If He be my con­stant stay,
If His pre­sence guide and keep me,
Thro’ the dark and thro’ the day;
I will fear no harm, dread no fierce alarm;
He for me the path of peace is seek­ing,
And the voice of love is speak­ing,
While He safe­ly guards me all the way.

Refrain

If the Sav­ior jour­ney with me,
If His guid­ing hand He give me,
If His lov­ing heart re­ceive me,
I will love and trust Him all the way.

If the Sav­ior jour­ney with me,
If He be my faith­ful friend,
If He ne­ver cease to love me,
Love and keep me to the end;
I will seek His face, I will plead His grace,
Trust my life to Him who ev­er liv­eth,
Give my all to Him who giv­eth
Love di­vine, that naught can e’er trans­cend.

Refrain

If the Sav­ior jour­ney with me,
If He keep me at His side,
If He shield me from the dan­gers
That along my path may hide;
I will ne­ver stray from the per­fect way,
Till at last I stand with­in the por­tal
Of the dwell­ing place im­mor­tal,
Where the blest of God shall e’er abide.
