73. Stepping Stones to Jesus

1 Stepping-stones to Jesus
All our joys may be,
Used with glad thanksgiving
For his love so free.
Many, many blessings
In our pathway fall,
Stepping-stones to Jesus
We may find them all.

Refrain:
Looking for the stepping-stones
Placed along life’s way;
Looking for the stepping-stones,
We find them ev’ry day;
Stepping-stones to Jesus,
Stepping-stones to Jesus,
Looking for the stepping-stones,
We find them ev’ry day.

2 Stepping-stones to Jesus,
Leading to his feet,
Are the little trials,
Which we daily meet;
Ev’ry need that presses,
Ev’ry vexing care,
Ev’ry disappointment,
Ev’ry cross we bear. [Refrain]

3 Stepping-stones to Jesus,
All the pure delight
In his works of beauty,
All things fair and bright.
Ev’ry sweet affection,
Tender human love,
Brought in consecration
To the Friend above. [Refrain]

4 Stepping-stones to Jesus,
Blessed means of grace;
Prayer and sweet communion
In the sacred place;
Ev’ry self-denial
For the Master’s cause,
Each renewed obeying
Of his holy laws. [Refrain]
