1. Christ knows ev’ry step of the valley,
Wherever my path may lead,
No matter how dark’ning the shadows,
His love will supply each need;
Then why should I tremble or falter?
The way clearer, brighter grows,
I’ll trust Him, whate’er betide me,
Each step of the way He knows.
(Chorus)
He knows, (He knows,) Christ knows, (Christ knows,)
Ev’ry step of the way He knows, (He knows,)
I will never fear, He is always near,
Ev’ry step of the way He knows.
2. Christ knows ev’ry step of the valley,
Its shadows and sunshine fair,
Its trials, temptations and sorrows,
Each one He will help me bear;
I lean ev’ry day on His promise,
To Him I surrender all,
I know that my Savior loves me,
And never will let me fall.
3. Christ knows ev’ry step of the valley,
And shining along the way
Are His sweet words of promise that never
Can fail, nor pass away;
Christ knows ev’ry step of the valley,
His banner of love leads on,
I’ll go wheresoe’er He bids me,
And shout His sweet praise in song.
