Faithful is the One who leads the way,
Loving are the words He speaks each day;
Tender is His promise, full of cheer:
"I am always with thee, never fear."

Sorrows may beset me, ills pursue,
I can trust this Friend so kind and true.
Precious is His promise, full of grace:
"I will lead thy footsteps in life's race."

Ever at my side He walks unseen,
Mighty is the arm on which I lean;
Gracious is His promise, full of love:
"I've prepared for thee a home above."

Ev'ry precious promise cheers my soul,
All along the journey to the goal;
Words of peace and pardon, hope and love,
Bless me on the road which leads above.

-William P. Davis, 1916
