Author: Eliza E. Hewitt Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #412 (1980) Scripture: John 13:15 First Line: Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior Refrain First Line: How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior Lyrics: 1 Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Trying to follow our Savior and King;
Shaping our lives by His blessed example,
Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.
Chorus:
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Stepping in the light, stepping in the light;
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Led in paths of light.
2 Pressing more closely to Him who is leading,
When we are tempted to turn from the way;
Trusting the arm that is strong to defend us,
Happy, how happy, our praises each day. (Chorus)
3 Walking in footsteps of gentle forbearance,
Footsteps of faithfulness, mercy and love,
Looking to Him for the grace freely promised,
Happy, how happy, our journey above. (Chorus)
4 Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Upward, still upward, we'll follow our Guide;
When we shall see Him, “the King in His beauty,”
Happy, how happy, our place at His side. (Chorus) Topics: Christ Example; Christ Guide; Christ Example; Christ Guide Languages: English Tune Title: [Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior]
