70. He Walks With Me

1 His blessed face I cannot see,
But still beside me day by day,
I know my Savior walks with me,
And leads me so I cannot stray.

Refrain:
He walks with me, he walks with me,
Oh, what a joy his child to be!
Exultingly my heart can sing,
Glad hallelujahs to my King.

2 Ah, not my own am I, for he
Hath bound me with the cords of love;
Thro’ life, thro’ death, he guideth me
To mansions fair prepared above. [Refrain]

3 Oft hedged with thorns I find my way,
But still his presence bears me thro’;
From strength to strength I go each day,
Supported by this Friend so true. [Refrain]

4 Close clinging to that blessed hand,
By faith I journey here below,
Content that in the better land
The goodness of my Lord I’ll know. [Refrain]
