Will Je­sus keep me, along life’s jour­ney,
Thro’ val­leys dark, where mists of doubt an­noy?
Will Je­sus lead me, tho’ dim the path­way,
And with me climb the mount­ain heights of joy?

Refrain

Yes, He will keep me, if I but trust Him
Thro’ ev­ery tri­al, with­out a doubt or fear;
Yes, He will guide me, if I but fol­low
Each step He leads, till all my path is clear.

Will Je­sus keep me when all around me
The sub­tle snares are set to trip my feet?
Will He in mer­cy walk close be­side me,
To whisp­er words of cheer and coun­sel sweet?

Refrain

Will Je­sus keep me till that bright morn­ing
When I shall reach my Fa­ther’s house on high;
To share His glo­ry thro’ end­less ag­es,
While bright and swift the joy­ous mo­ments fly?

Refrain
