I walk with Thee, and in the dewy morning,
Thy presence strengthens life’s great hope for me;
I talk with Thee, and thru the glorious dawning
Thy wondrous grace lights all the world for me.
Refrain
O Father, thru the whole of life’s short daytime,
Stay very near, my wavering steps to see;
Then come what may of sunshine or of woe,
I gain my Heaven as I walk with Thee.
I walk with Thee, and in the glare of noontide,
Thou art my fountain, pure and fresh and free;
I talk with Thee, and over all abiding,
Thy precious promise gives sweet peace to me.
Refrain
I walk with Thee amid the shades of evening,
Thy love and mercy banish all my fear;
O walk with me! Thy glorious smile down beaming,
Will drive away death’s last, sad, bitter tear.
