1 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest is won;
And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by thy hand
To our fatherland.
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 through many a foe
To our home we go. A-men.
3 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.
4 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!
Amen.
