126 Following a Heavenly Leader
Nicolaus Ludwig, Count Zinzendorf, 1721
| 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 fear o’ertake 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 temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring, 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 Fatherland! | |
