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.
