As I walk this plain of mine
And troubles rise before me
I know there is a helper strong
Whose task is to protect me
He goes in front wherever I go
Nine feet of blessed strength
To make my way both clear and straight
My path in all it’s length
I know not his name or how he looks
I just know that he’s there
Much wiser than me in what he knows
He makes my life free of care
If you will call upon your own
He’s bound to come to you
He’ll help through your trying times
And show you what to do
We each have one so we are taught
This gift from heaven above
Release your cares to your strong guardian
And walk in carefree love
