O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee
Author: W. Gladden Hymnal: Praise and Worship #10 (1951) Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free.
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

By some clear, winning word of love.
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.

Far down the future's broadening way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live. Languages: English Tune Title: [O Master, let me walk with Thee]

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Author (B) of "[O Master, let me walk with Thee]" in The United Methodist Hymnal Music Supplement II The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
