Verse 1

They tell me there are dangers In the path my feet must tread; But they cannot see the glory That is shining round my head.

Chorus

Oh, ’tis Jesus leads my footsteps! He has made my heart His own. For I would not dare the journey Thro’ the wide, wide world alone.

Verse 2

They tell me life has trials, And the fairest hopes must flee; But I trust my all to Jesus, And I know He cares for me.

Chorus

Oh, ’tis Jesus leads my footsteps! He has made my heart His own. For I would not dare the journey Thro’ the wide, wide world alone.

Verse 3

I know my heart is sinful, And my love seems all too small; But if Jesus’ arm is round me, I shall win and conquer all.

Chorus

Oh, ’tis Jesus leads my footsteps! He has made my heart His own. For I would not dare the journey Thro’ the wide, wide world alone.
