Author: Julia H. Johnston Hymnal: Alexander's Hymns No. 3 #237 (1915) First Line: Ev'ry little step I take Refrain First Line: The Savior knows, He watches near Lyrics: 1 Ev’ry little step I take, My Saviour knows. Watching near for love’s dear sake, My Saviour knows. When I sin and disobey, Or when I forget to pray, All I think of day by day, My Saviour knows. Refrain: The Saviour knows, He watches near; My whisper low, He bends to hear; He knows my heart, He knows my way; O let me please Him day by day. 2 When my heart is very glad, My Saviour knows. When I’m troubled, when I’m sad, My Saviour knows. In my work and at my play, Jesus hears whate’er I say; Ev’ry deed along the way, My Saviour knows. [Refrain] 3 I am timid, weak, and small, My Saviour knows. How to help me when I fall, My Saviour knows. Jesus holds me by the hand, Bids me follow His command; What I do not understand, My Saviour knows. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Every little step I take]
