I would have the Saviour with me,
For I dare not walk alone;
I would feel His presence near me,
And His arm around me thrown.
Then my soul shall fear no ill,
While He leads... me where He will,
I will go without a murmur,
And His footsteps follow still.
1 would have the Saviour with me,
For my faith, at best, is weak;
He can whisper words of comfort
That no other voice can speak.
Then my soul shall fear no ill,
While He leads... me where He will,
I will go without a murmur,
And His footsteps follow still.
I would have the Saviour with me shine,
In the onward march of life,
Through the tempest and the sun-
Through the battle and the strife.
Then my soul shall fear no ill,
While He leads... me where He will,
I will go without a murmur,
And His footsteps follow still.
I would have the Saviour with me,
That His eye the way may guide,
Till I reach the vale of Jordan,
Till I cross the rolling tide.
Then my soul shall fear no ill,
While He leads... me where He will,
I will go without a murmur,
And His footsteps follow still.
