Lyrics

There’s a song with­in my heart to­day,
And re­joic­ing I go on my way;
For I’ve found a friend and guide,
And what­ev­er may betide,
He has pro­mised to be with me all the way.

Refrain

For my Sav­ior will be with me all the way!
Is the song my heart is sing­ing all the day;
Then what ev­il shall I fear,
With my friend and guide so near?
He has pro­mised to be with me all the way.

Oh, this song shall be a song of trust,
For His ways are al­ways right and just;
And I do not walk alone,
Since He’s called me for His own;
He has pro­mised to be with me all the way.

Refrain

Thro’ His grace I’ll sing the vic­tor’s song,
In His strength for right be firm and strong;
Tho’ temp­ta­tions may as­sail,
In His name I shall pre­vail;
He has pro­mised to be with me all the way.
