1. 'Tis so sweet to walk with Jesus, Step by step and
2. 'Tis so safe to walk with Jesus, Leaning hard up
3. Step by step I'll walk with Jesus, Just a moment
4. Jesus keep me closer, closer, Step by step and day by day;

Stepping in His very foot-prints, Walking with Him all the way. Following closely where He leads us, None can hurt and naught can harm. Heights I have not wings to soar to, Step by step my feet can climb. Step-ping in His very foot-prints, Walking with Thee all the way.

I HEAR A VOICE, "TIS SOFT AND SWEET.

"Vox Salvatoris."

Beardsley Van De Water.

1. I hear a voice, 'tis soft and sweet, It bids my sin-sick soul rejoice; 2. When weary with my load of guilt, I'll not for- get that "Christ is all;" 3. My soul is troub-led like the sea, The sur-ging bil-lows roll a-round;

The same was heard in Sa-lem's street, And in the mountain's cool retreat,
For me His precious blood was spilt; He sweetly says, "Come, if thou wilt;"
But He who calmed far Galilee Doth kind-ly say, "Peace be to thee;"

nev-er die, Cher-ished and blest; God knows how deep they lie, nev-er die, Though, like the flowers, Their brightest hues may fly nev-er die, Though in the tomb We may all have to lie,

Stored in the breast; Like childhood's simple rhymes, Said o'er a thousand times, In wintry hours. But when the gen-tle dew Gives them their charms anew, Wrapped in its gloom. What though the flesh decay, Souls pass in peace a way,

Ay, in all years and climes Distant and near. Kind words can never die, With many an added hue They bloom again. Sweet thoughts can nev-er die, ternal day With Christ above. Our souls can nev-er die,

Live through e

Nev-er die, nev-er die, Kind words can nev-er die, No,
Nev-er die, nev-er die, Sweet thoughts can nev-er die,
Nev-er die, nev-er die, Our souls can

No,

nev-er die,

No,

nev-er die.
