Representative Text

1. Passing thro' a lonely way,
Mists deceiving, cloud my day;
Why should I my footsteps stay?
Jesus walks with me.

Chorus:
Jesus walks with me.
In the narrow way;
I will follow Him each day,
Till His face I see.

2. Though my trials heavy be,
He can all my danger see,
Bring me joy and victory.
Jesus walks with me. [Chorus]

3. Though in sorrow I may weep,
Though in death I fall asleep,
Through the valley dark and deep
He will walk with me. [Chorus]

4. When the judgment day shall break,
And all hearts with fear shall quake,
For His loved ones joy shall wake.
He will walk with me. [Chorus]

Stanton, Frederick S. (New Bedford, Massachusetts, December 20, 1857--October 1, 1915, New Bedford). Held a Bachelor of Music degree and was ordained to the Advent Christian ministry. He held pastorates at Hudson Falls, New York and Lawrence, Mass. Ill health and a final paralysis limited activity in his later years, although he supplied in various churches around New Bedford. He wrote words and music to a number of hymns, and composed the music for other Advent Christian hymn-writers. He was secretary of the Southern Massachusetts District Conference of his denomination. He contributed to the preparation of several of its hymnals, and was co-editor of The Golden Sheaf (1898), Carols of Hope (1906) and The Advent Christian Hymnal (1913).… Go to person page >
