Jesus, still lead on

by NICOLAUS LUDWIG VON ZINZENDORF, 1700-60;

Jesus, still lead on
"In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling" Exo. 15:13
Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won,
And, although the way be cheerless
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by thy hand
To our fatherland.
If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'er take us
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For, through many a foe,
To our home we go.
When we seek relief
From a long felt grief,
When oppressed by new temptations,
Lord, increase and perfect patience;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won;
Heavenly leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our father land.
