Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Upward, still upward we'll follow our Guide;
When we shall see Him, the King in His beauty,
Happy, how happy, our place at His side.
Another vivid word picture of following our Guide (Holy Spirit) in the steps of the Savior upward and upward. A joyful journey because we will see our Savior in His heavenly state - a beautiful King. And He will honor us by inviting us to stand at His side.
Perhaps the songwriter was reading this passage in Titus as he composed the lyrics for verses 3 and 4...
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;A long journey, indeed, and all uphill - climbing upward, and upward. A tiring, challenging journey, but the vision of what awaits us spurs us on. That blessed hope, the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ, is our motivation to walk upward in His steps and yield as He purifies us along the way. The day is surely coming when a people, made peculiar by His redemption and purification, will stand beside their beautiful King.
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:11-14
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Stepping in the light, stepping in the light.
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Led in paths of light.
