Author: Sydney Carter Hymnal: Voices United #639 (1996) Meter: 9.9.7.9 with refrain Refrain First Line: And it's from the old I travel to the new Lyrics: 1 One more step along the world I go,
one more step along the world I go,
from the old things to the new
keep me travelling along with you:
[Refrain:]
And it's from the old I travel to the new.
keep me travelling along with you.
2 Round the corners of the world I turn,
more and more about the world I learn;
all the new things that I see
you'll be looking at along with me. [Refrain]
3 As I travel through the bad and good
keep me travelling the way I should;
where I see no way to go
you'll be telling me the way, I know: [Refrain]
4 Give me courage when the world is rough,
keep me loving though the world is tough;
leap and sing in all I do,
keep me travelling along with you: [Refrain]
5 You are older than the world can be,
you are younger than the life in me.
ever old and ever new,
keep me travelling along with you: [Refrain] Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Pilgrimage; Commitment; Pilgrimage and Conflict; Holy Thursday Year B; Proper 9 Year B; Good Friday Year ABC Tune Title: SOUTHCOTE
