O Let Me Walk With Thee

O Let Me Walk With Thee

Text written by Mrs. L. D. Avery Stuttle (1835-1933)

Sung to the hymn tune MORTON, written in 1886 by Edwin Barnes (1864-1930)

Genesis 5:24 [Enoch] spent his life in fellowship with God, and then he disappeared, because God took him away.

V. 1 O let me walk with Thee, my God, 

As Enoch walked in days of old;

Place Thou my trembling hand in Thine,

And sweet communion with me hold;

E'en though the path I may not see,

Yet, Jesus, let me walk with Thee.

V. 2 I cannot, dare not, walk alone;

The tempest rages in the sky,

A thousand snares beset my feet,

A thousand foes are lurking night.

Still Thou the raging of the sea,

O Master! let me walk with Thee.

V. 3 If I may rest my hand in Thine,

I'll count the joys of earth but loss,

And firmly, bravely journey on;

I'll bear the banner of the cross

Till Zion's glorious gates I see;

Yet, Savior, let me walk with Thee.
