Jesu, Still Lead On
Nicolaus Ludwig, Graf von Zinzendorf (1721) • Jane Borthwick (1853) • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 13:21
Verse 1
Jesus, still lead on till our rest be won. And, although the way be cheerless, we will follow, calm and fearless; guide us by Your hand to our Fatherland.
Verse 2
If the way be drear, if the foe be near, let not faithless fears o'ertake us, let not faith and hope forsake us; for, thro' many a woe, to our home we go.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
Jesus, still lead on till our rest be won; Heav'nly Leader, still direct us, still support, console, protect us, till we safely stand in our Fatherland.
