Keep Step With Jesus

Author: Lucy A. Bennett Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Keep step with Jesus: He Who leads Lyrics: 1 Keep step with Jesus: He Who leads Should surely set the peace, Keep step with Jesus, would’st thou be A victor in the race. 2 Not over-running His sweet will, Nor lagging far behind; Who walk with Jesus, only these The road to blessing find. 3 O happy they who fear to take One single step alone; But, led by Him, will dare to tread The pathless depths unknown. 4 This sacred path man koweth not, Save only such as bow To take His yoke, and breathe to Him— “Thou art my portion now.” 5 They tread it, and with quiet heart Have learnt—are learning still, That not a single good outlies The circle of His will.
