Joyful Lays ‎#31

31. Step by Step

1 Step by step, the Lord will safely lead us,
If we’re guided by His tender hand;
Step by step, the bread of life He’ll feed us,
If we heed His blest command.

Refrain:
Follow, we’ll follow,
In the way of beauty,
In the path of duty;
Follow Thee, we’ll follow Thee,
Saviour, we will follow Thee.

2 Step by step, our journey will be brighter,
If the right we faithfully pursue;
Step by step, our spirits will be lighter,
If we to the Lord are true. [Refrain]

3 Step by step, we soon will reach the river,
Just between us and our happy home;
Step by step, we’re marching to the Giver
Of eternal life to come. [Refrain]
