Music: .


I am walking thro’ this earth-life,
Often weary, often sad;
But my Savior walketh with me,
And His presence makes me glad.

Refrain

Jesus knoweth ev’ry sorrow,
Jesus knoweth ev’ry fear;
And He whispers thro’ life’s shadows,
“Do not tremble, I am near!”

I am trav’ling to a city
Where the light is never dim,
And my Savior leads so gently,
It is sweet to walk with Him.

Refrain

I am looking for redemption
Thro’ the merits of my King;
Blessèd beams of free salvation
Shine about me as I sing.
