199. Since Jesus Came

1 Since Jesus came to walk with me,
Along the rugged road,
The path is easy for my feet,
And lighter seems the load.

Refrain:
So hand in hand together,
As step by step we go,
He opens up the message,
And sets my heart aglow,
He calls me His beloved,
And He is mine, I know;
Since Jesus walks with me,
My heart with joys overflow.

2 Since Jesus came to walk with me,
The straight and narrow way,
Is wide enough for Him and me,
To journey day by day. [Refrain]

3 Since Jesus came to walk with me,
I do not care to stray
In paths of sin, away from Him,
Along the downward way. [Refrain]

4 Since Jesus came to walk with me,
Our fellowship, so dear,
In blest communion by the way
Grows sweeter year by year. [Refrain]
