663. O walk with Jesus! You will know

Author: E Paxton Hood 1820-85

O walk with Jesus! you will know
how deep, how wide his love can flow;
they only fail to prove his love
who in the ways of sinners rove.

2. Walk now with him-that way is light;
all other pathways end in night.
Walk still with him-that way is rest;
all other pathways are unblessed.

3. O walk with Jesus! To your view
he will make all things sweet and new,
will bring new fragrance from each flower
and hallow every passing hour.

4. Jesus, along life’s troubled road
grant us to walk with you, our God;
come to us, speak with us and stay,
and O walk with us day by day!
