It is popular for start and end the school year, and the very light religious content (references to "you" which Christians interpret as being addressed to God) makes it suitable for use in multi-faith settings.
The song is set to a tune called SOUTHCOATE, also by Carter. This has a 4/4 time signature. In the key of G, the first few notes are G G GA B G A DD, with accompanying chords G / D.

Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:1 One more step along the world I go,
... Keep me travelling along with you.
2 Round the corners of the world I turn, ...
3 As I travel through the bad and good ...
4 Give me courage when the world is rough,
6 You are older than the world can be,
