1Walking with thee, my God, how blessed, Walking with thee, my soul is blest; And when my work on earth is o'er, I'll walk with thee forevermore.

RefrainWalking with thee, walking with thee, Blessed communion, walking with thee; Walking with thee, walking with thee, How sweet the fellowship divine!

2Trusting in thee, my Guide so true, Lean on his teacher's strength, Crossing the wild, Yet from all care and sin secure, He leads me to the tree.

3Resting in his precious love, Brother, And by his ways so sweet, Lessons of holy thought, Ever as friend and good, Jesus is near.

4Let it be sung, Let us hope, Faith un-de-feated, Faith un-de-fected, Walking with thee, Walking with thee.
