Step by step, take my hand and lead me,
My Guide, my Light.

(German) So nimm denn meine Hände und führe mich
Bis an mein selig Ende und ewiglich!
Ich kann allein nicht gehen, nicht einen Schritt;
Wo Du wirst gehn und stehen, da nimm mich mit.

O take my hand and lead me, my Guide, my Light,
My path is rough and narrow in life's dark night.
Your hand will safely hold me through night and day,
You are my true companion, O with me stay.

You cover me with mercy and cleanse my heart,
Your goodness fills my being in every part.
And with Your hand to guide me I'm not alone.
Your presence lights my pathway until I'm at Home.

As step by step we travel to reach the goal,
Our songs of faith will echo and feed my soul.
So take my hand and lead me until I see
The heav'n where You receive me eternally.
