When the shadows thickly gather,
Clouding all thy onward way;
Think not what shall be tomorrow,
Seek God's help just for today.
Step by step He leads me onward,
Step by step the way reveals:
But what in the future lieth,
In His mercy He conceals.
Whould the coming days bring burdens,
Or be fraught with grief or care;
Trust him in the hour of trial,
He will make thee strong to bear.
Step by step He leads me onward,
Step by step the way reveals:
But what in the future lieth,
In His mercy He conceals.
Daily strength He ever giveth,
For each day rich grace bestows;
And each morrow as it dawneth,
Still His loving kindness shows.
Step by step He leads me onward,
Step by step the way reveals:
But what in the future lieth,
In His mercy He conceals.
Then why should we shrink or falter,
When the onward path looks dim;
Knowing light will never fail us,
While we walk by faith with Him.
Step by step He leads me onward,
Step by step the way reveals:
But what in the future lieth,
In His mercy He conceals.
