FOLLOWING CHRIST.
5,5,8,8,5,5
Jesu, geh voran
Nicolaus von Zinzendorf
trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1869
Jesu, day by day Lead us on life's way: Nought of dangers will we reckon, Simply haste where Thou dost beckon; Lead us by the hand To our fatherland. | 310 Hard should seem our lot, Let us waver not: Never murmur at our crosses In dark days of grief and losses; 'Tis through trial here We must reach Thy sphere. | When the heart must know Pain for others' woe, When beneath its own 'tis sinking, Give us patience, hope unshrinking, Fix our eyes, O Friend, On our journey's end. | Thus our path shall be Daily traced by Thee; Draw Thou nearer when 'tis rougher, Help us most when most we suffer, And when all is o'er Ope to us Thy door. | |
