- 1It may be in the valley, where countless dangers hide;It may be in the sunshine that I, in peace, abide;But this one thing I know if it be dark or fair,If Jesus is with me,I’ll go anywhere!If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go. (I’ll go.)Anywhere!’Tis heaven to me,Where e’er I may be, if He is there!I count it a privilege here.His cross to bear;(His cross, His cross, His cross to bear;)If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go Anywhere!
- 2It may be I must carry the blessed Word of life,Across the burning deserts to those in sinful strife;And tho it be my lot to bear my colors there,If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go anywhere!If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go. (I’ll go.)Anywhere!’Tis heaven to me,Where e’er I may be, if He is there!I count it a privilege here.His cross to bear;(His cross, His cross, His cross to bear;)If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go Anywhere!
- 3But if it be my portion to bear my cross at home,While others bear their burdens beyond the billow’s foam,I’ll prove my faith in Him– confess His judgments fairAnd, if He stays with me,I’ll stay anywhere!If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go. (I’ll go.)Anywhere!’Tis heaven to me,Where e’er I may be, if He is there!I count it a privilege here.His cross to bear;(His cross, His cross, His cross to bear;)If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go Anywhere!
- 4It is not mine to question the judgment of my Lord,It is but mine to follow the leadings of His Word;But if to go or stay, or whether here or there,I’ll be, with my Savior, content anywhere!If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go. (I’ll go.)Anywhere!’Tis heaven to me,Where e’er I may be, if He is there!I count it a privilege here.His cross to bear;(His cross, His cross, His cross to bear;)If Jesus goes with me,I’ll go Anywhere!
