Words for the wedding hymn "One More Step Along the World I Go"
- One more step along the world I go,
- One more step along the world I go;
- From the old things to the new,
- Keep me travelling along with you:
- And it's from the old I travel to the new;
- Keep me travelling along with you.
- Round the corners of the world I turn,
- More and more about the world I learn;
- All the new things that I see,
- You'll be looking at along with me.
- And it's from the old I travel to the new;
- Keep me travelling along with you.
- As I travel through the bad and good,
- Keep me travelling the way I should.
- Where I see no way to go,
- You'll be telling me the way, I know.
- And it's from the old I travel to the new;
- Keep me travelling along with you.
- Give me courage when the world is rough,
- Keep me loving though the world is tough;
- Leap and sing in all I do,
- And it's from the old I travel to the new;
- Keep me travelling along with you.
- Keep me travelling along with you.
- You are older than the world can be,
- You are younger than the life in me;
- Ever old and ever new,
- Keep me travelling along with you:
- And it's from the old I travel to the new;
- Keep me travelling along with you.
