1 The straight route to glory before me I see,
The line of my Father’s survey;
For righteousness yearning, my whole heart is burning
To go ev’ry step of the way.

Chorus:
I’ll go ev’ry step of the way,
I’ll go ev’ry step of the way,
Come sorrow or pain, ‘tis glory and gain
To go ev’ry step of the way.

2 Tho’ Satan may whisper, “Tomorrow you’ll fail,”
Admitting the vict’ry today;
For future behavior, I’ll trust in the Savior,
And go ev’ry step of the way. [Chorus]

3 Tho’ trials may press me and dangers be near,
“I’m with you,” I hear Jesus say;
We’ll keep close together, in all kinds of weather:
I’ll go ev’ry step of the way. [Chorus]

4 My friends may forsake me, because I am true,
Endeav’ring my purpose to sway;
With Christ and Him only, I cannot be lonely,
I’ll go ev’ry step of the way. [Chorus]

5 When light on my heart for the cleansing is shed,
I’ll welcome each heavenly ray;
Beholding the fountain, on Calvary’s mountain,
I’ll go ev’ry step of the way. [Chorus]
