1 Only a step at a time need we take,
Oh, then why should we grieve if the way is long?
Only a step ever lies just ahead,
If we watch ev’ry step we will not go wrong.

Refrain:
Only a step at a time!
Only a step at a time!
Tho’ rough be the way and oppressive the day,
It is only a step at a time!

2 Only a step at a time need we take,
Oh, then why should we halt if the path is rough?
Only a step and the way is so plain,
We can follow it if we are brave enough. [Refrain]

3 Only a step at a time need we take,
Oh, then why should we wish we the end might know?
Only a step on the way leading home,
And the light of God’s love on the path will glow. [Refrain]
