O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee

Oh Master, Let Me Walk With Thee

Text written in 1879 by Washington Gladden (1836-1918)

Sung to MARYTON, composed in 1874 by H. Percy Smith (1825-1898)

Genesis 5:24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.

V. 1 O Master, let me walk with Thee

In lowly paths of service free;

Tell me Thy secret; help me bear

The strain of toil, the fret of care.

V. 2 Help me the slow of heart to move

By some clear, winning word of love;

Teach me the wayward feet to stay,

And guide them in the homeward way.

V. 3 Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee

In closer, dearer company,

In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,

In trust that triumphs over wrong;

Proverbs 4:18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,

shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

V. 4 In hope that sends a shining ray

Far down the future's broadening way;

In peace that only Thou canst give,

With Thee, O Master, let me live.
