STUDENT PRINCE band9 (I'll walk with God)

I'LL WALK WITH GOD
From this day on
His helping hand I'll lean upon
This is my prayer my humble plea
May the lord be ever with me

There is no death though eyes grow dim
There is no fear when I'm near to him
I'll lean on him forever
And he'll forsake me never

He will not fail me as long as my faith is strong
What ever road I may walk alone

I'll walk with god
I'll take his hand
I'll talk with god he'll understand
I'll pray to him
Each day to him

And he'll hear the words that I say
His hand will guide my throne and rod
And I'll never walk alone
While I walk with god.

Mario Lanza (Film Soundtrack -- 1952) -- 1953 & 1954.

For ever this song will belong to him, he walked with God on earth and always will on heaven.

Beautiful is not enough to describe it... How I wish I could have that feeling with me always and at all times.

I'm usually not very fond of a tenor voice, but Mario Lanza is the ultimate exception.

When my mother had the stroke (at 92) which led to her death, every night when I left the hospice, I left a cassette playing Mario singing the Lord's Prayer and then I'll Walk with God. This song is a prayer. A beautiful prayer and dedication of our hearts to Him. May she be now with the Lord, and with Mario.

[OperaBuff1935]

Oh, my gosh! What a great song! What great sentiments! What a great voice - Mario Lanza. He died tragically and much too young as did another great American tenor, Jerry Hadley. Maario, you are now with the God who you sang about and in God's eternal care, as we Christians believe. Bravo, Mario Lanza!

Judy42foester: I'll Walk with God was written for Lanza by Nicholas Brodszky (composer of Be My Love & Because You're Mine) and lyricist Paul Francis Webster. The other two songs they wrote for the film version of The Student Prince were Beloved and Summertime in Heidelberg.

I too remember this wonderful song from the album. It is one that was NOT written by Sigmund Romberg. I am trying to find out who wrote it so I can order the sheet music.

[judy42foester]

This particular song was not written by Sigmund Romberg. Do you know who wrote it? I am trying to buy the sheet music.
