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 woe
To our home we go.
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 is won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our Fatherland.
Amen.
