1. Step by step, every day,
He will lead us all the way;
Nothing can our hearts dismay,
While we follow, follow Jesus.

Refrain:
One step at a time, you see,
Is enough for you, is enough for me;
So we’ll follow faithfully,
Follow, follow Jesus.

2. Step by step, all is right,
Though we walk by faith, not sight;
E’en the darkness turns to light,
While we follow, follow Jesus.

3. Step by step, some glad day,
Homeward we will wend our way;
Never can we go astray,
While we follow, follow Jesus.

She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
