Text:I want Jesus to walk with me
Tune:[I want Jesus to walk with me]
Arranger:Carl Haywood (b. 1949)

805. I want Jesus to walk with me

1 I want Jesus to walk with me (walk with me);
I want Jesus to walk with me (walk with me);
all along my pilgrim journey, Lord,
I want Jesus to walk with me (walk with me).

2 In my trials, Lord, walk with me (walk with me);
in my trials, Lord, walk with me (walk with me);
when the shades of life are falling, Lord,
I want Jesus to walk with me (walk with me).

3 In my sorrows, Lord, walk with me (walk with me);
in my sorrows, Lord, walk with me (walk with me);
when my heart within is aching, Lord,
I want Jesus to walk with me (walk with me).
