I Walk in Danger All the Way

1 I walk in danger all the way; The thought shall never leave me

That Satan who has marked his prey, Is plotting to deceive me.

This foe with hidden snares May seize me unawares

If e’er I fail to watch and pray; I walk in danger all the way.

2 I pass through trials all the way; With sin and ills contending;

In patience I must bear each day The cross of God’s own sending,

Oft in adversity I know not where to flee

When storms of woe my soul dismay; I pass through trials all the way.

3 Grim death pursues me all the way; Nowhere I rest securely.

He comes by night, he comes by day, And takes his prey most surely.

A failing breath, and I In death’s strong grasp may lie

To face eternity today. Grim death pursues me all the way.

4 I walk with angels all the way; They shield me and befriend me.

All Satan’s pow’r is held at bay When heav’nly hosts attend me.

The are my sure defense; All fear and sorrow, hence!

Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk with angels all the way.

5 I walk with Jesus all the way; His guidance never fails me.

He takes my ev’ry fear away When Satan’s pow’r assails me,

And, by his footsteps led, My path I safely tread.

In spite of ills that threaten may, I walk with Jesus all the way.

6 My walk is heav’nward all the way; Await my soul, the morrow,

When you farewell can gladly say To all your sin and sorrow.

All worldly pomp be gone! To heav’n I now press on.

For all the world I would not stay; My walk is heav’nward all the way.
