I Will be With You Wherever You Go - Markland

This is a hymn of commissioning.

It was written by English teacher and writer Gerard Markland (b 1953), and first published in 1978 by Kevin Mayhew Ltd in Songs of the Spirit volume 1.

In-print hymnals which it is published in today in include Catholic Hymns Old and New, 2009 edition.   These are the best source of sheet music for the song.

The unnamed tune by Markland has a 2/4 time signature, and was originally published in the key of G.   The first few notes in this key are Bc B G D.

Go now and spread my word!    1  Come, walk with me on stormy waters. Why fear? Reach out, and I’ll be there.   2  And you, my friend, will you now leave me, Or do you know me as your Lord?  3Your life will be transformed with power By living truly in my name.  4  And if you say: ‘Yes, Lord I love you,” Then feed my lambs and feed my sheep

Go now throughout the world!
I will be with you in all that you say.
Go now and spread my word!

4 And if you say: ‘Yes, Lord I love you,” ...
