I Walk in Danger All the Way

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Grim death pursues me all the way, nowhere I rest securely; he comes by night, he comes by day, he 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.

Verse 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. They are my sure defense; all fear and sorrow, hence! Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk with angels all the way.

Verse 5

I walk with Jesus all the way, his guidance never fails me; within his wounds I find a stay when Satan's pow'r assails me; and by his footsteps led, my path I safely tread. No evil leads my soul astray; I walk with Jesus all the way.

Verse 6

My walk is heav'nward all the way; await, my soul, the morrow, when your at last with joy can say farewell to sin and sorrow. All worldly pomp, begone! To heav'n I now press on. For all the world I would not stay; my walk is heav'nward all the way.
