Walking With Thee

By John M. Hopkins

JOHN M. HOPKINS

Let me walk with thee, my Saviour, Hand in hand, close by thy side; I would share thy loving favor, And to thee my all confide.

Walk with me—how bright the pathway Strewn with blessings all along; Hand in hand to heaven’s gateway— Praising thee in prayer and song.

Walk with thee with hearts united In the bonds of love divine; Closely clinging to each other, As the interlacing vine Round the oak doth weave its tendrils, For support its strength to share; Thus would I, O blessed Saviour, Cling to thee in faith and prayer.

Walk with me on love’s sweet mission To the suffering ones below, Bearing light, and joy, and blessing As we journey to and fro; Seeking for the poor and lost ones Who have wandered from the fold; Binding up the broken-hearted, Sheltering them from storm and cold.

Such to thee I’d bring, dear Saviour, Once the “Lamb for sinners slain.” Where alone is perfect cleansing, And a balm for every pain.

Thus I pray that I may ever Walk with thee through earthly night; Then in heaven, with garments spotless. May I walk with thee “in white.”
