Step by step and day by day;
Stepping in His very footprints,
Walking with Him all the way.
I would walk with Jesus,
All the day, all the way,
Keeping step with Jesus.
Leaning hard upon His arm,
Following closely where He leads us,
None can hurt and naught can harm.
Just a moment at a time,
Heights I have not wings to soar to,
Step by step my feet can climb.
Through the sunshine, through the gloom,
Though His blood-marked steps may lead me
To the garden, to the tomb.
But the time will not be long
Till the night shall change to morning,
And the sorrow into song.
We shall walk with Him in white,
While He turns our grief to gladness,
And our darkness into light.
Step by step, and day by day;
Stepping in Thy very footprints,
Walking with Thee all the way.
