The Cyber Hymnal ‎#11425

11425. The Wide, Wide World

1 They tell me there are dangers
In the path my feet must tread;
But they cannot see the glory
That is shining round my head.

Refrain:
Oh, ’tis Jesus leads my footsteps!
He has made my heart His own.
For I would not dare the journey
Thro’ the wide, wide world alone.

2 They tell me life has trials,
And the fairest hopes must flee;
But I trust my all to Jesus,
And I know He cares for me. [Refrain]

3 I know my heart is sinful,
And my love seems all too small;
But if Jesus’ arm is round me,
I shall win and conquer all. [Refrain]
