The classic hymn "One More Step Along the World I Go", is one of the most popular modern choices for wedding hymns. It's an uplifting piece and is suitable for a church wedding ceremony and the lyrics below can be copied to add to an Order of Service, free of charge. One More Step Along the World I Go is a particularly popular choice for weddings where the couple are looking for hymns that don't contain many religious words.

For ideas for traditional wedding music for the arrival of the bride, the processional, signing of the register or recessional at the end of the wedding ceremony, we have our recommended church music ideas here.

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.

The words for this hymn can be used free of charge in Order of Service sheets. If we've been helpful, we love it when couples let us know by giving us 5* on Google or Facebook.
