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.

Based on Genesis 1:26, 27; Exodus 3:14

You are My reflection
With My hands
Your body I formed
Lovingly
Carefully
Tenderly
Your are My friend
Glorify Me
Show the world who I AM

The moon

Tonight's moon as it was setting must have been catching the light of the sun, which had set an hour previously. The moon is a crescent...in fact, a very small crescent (I researched it, to be precise, the illumination was just 4%.) Anyway, the full outline of the moon was illuminated by the light of the sun. Very dramatic, just over the treetops...that small waxing crescent of light, and then the big shape of the moon with light shining around the edges.

As I drove to work, I thought about how the Light of the Son illuminates our lives. It doesn't matter if we're large or small, or if we feel insignificant...He still shines on us and makes us feel big, bright, and beautiful. What a beautiful parallel.
