As Enoch walked in days of old;
Place Thou my trembling hand in Thine,
And sweet communion with me hold;
Text
1
O let me walk with Thee, my God,
As Enoch walked in days of old;
Place Thou my trembling hand in Thine,
And sweet communion with me hold;
E’en though the path I may not see,
Yet, Jesus, let me walk with Thee.
2
I cannot, dare not, walk alone;
The tempest rages in the sky,
A thousand snares beset my feet,
A thousand foes are lurking nigh.
Still Thou the raging of the sea,
O Master! let me walk with Thee.
3
If I may rest my hand in Thine,
I’ll count the joys of earth but loss,
And firmly, bravely journey on;
I’ll bear the banner of the cross
Till Zion’s glorious gates I see;
Yet, Savior, let me walk with Thee.

The Lord grants us wisdom and knowledge to be used for God’s glory. May it be our prayer that we always walk with God and discern what is right and what is wrong.
-Notes for SS Lesson 4th Quarter 2020 “Education.” Lesson 10 -Education in Arts and Sciences (Wednesday)
Our lesson reminds us of what is written in Isaiah 40:8 which says, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of God endures forever.” God’s word serves as our guide as we prepare to meet Jesus on His coming. (Lesson 8, 1st Quarter 2021 -Sunday, Comfort for the Future, 2/14/2021)
Jesus gave us free will to choose which path to take. May we also surrender this free will to Him and ask that it may be in accordance to His will for us. By walking with Jesus, we can have peace that He will lead us. (Lesson 5, 1st Quarter 2021 -Tuesday, The Rod of God’s Anger, 1/26/2021)
