1 By day or night, in joy or pain,
Lord, keep us close to Thee;
Temptations try our souls in vain,
When Thy dear face we see.

Refrain:
Walking with Jesus by the way,
Walking with Jesus all the day!
Ever our grateful hearts shall say,
“Lord, with us abide!”

2 When burdened with a load of care,
With weary hearts and sore,
Can we but know Thy presence near,
We feel our load no more! [Refrain]

3 O never, never can we stray
With Thy dear hand to guide!
No pow’r can draw our souls away,
While walking at Thy side. [Refrain]
