1 I walk today in the Christian way,
Though dangers I may see;
I will not fear for the Lord is near,
And He will care for me.
Refrain:

He will care for me, He will care for me.
And His mighty hand will enable me to stand,

2 No test I face but sufficient grace

When sorrows rise to obscure my skies,
He proves a friend indeed. [Refrain]
3 He will not fail in the strongest gale

And in His grace is a hiding place
Unknown to any foe. [Refrain]
4 I trust in Him though disasters grim
Before me seem to be;
He calms my fears, and He dries my tears,
And faithful is to me. [Refrain]
