Jesus, Lead The Way
Author: J. Borthwick; N. L. von Zinzendorf Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Appears in 289 hymnals First Line: Jesus, lead the way, Guide us day by day Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lead the way,
Guide us day by day;
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by Thy hand
To our fatherland.
2 Tho' the way be drear,
Though 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.
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bight shore
Where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, lead the way,
Guide us day by day;
Heav'nly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: HEAVENLY GUIDE Text Sources: Seelenbräutigan
Jesus, Lead The Way
Blessed be Thy name
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Blessed be thy name, Jesus Christ, the same Lyrics:
Blessed be Thy name,
Jesus Christ!--the same
Yesterday, to-day, for ever,
What from Thee my soul shall sever,
While I hear Thy voice,
And in Thee rejoice?
Guide me with Thine eye;
Warn to fight or fly,
When the foe, a lion raging,
Or, with serpent guile assuaging,
Comes in wrath to tear,
Or by fraud ensnare.
Hold me with Thine hand,
For by faith I stand;
On Thy strength my sole reliance,
In Thy truth my whole affiance;
Then where'er I roam,
I am travelling home.
Lord, Thy word is light;
Led by it aright,
When a pilgrim, like my Fathers,
Life's last shadow round me gathers,
May its brightening ray
Shine to perfect day.
With my latest breath,
Overcoming death,
From the body disencumber'd
With thy Saints in glory number'd,
Jesus, may I be
Found in peace with Thee.

Fairest Bridegroom Mine
Author: Adam Drese Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #194 (1930) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Lyrics: 1 Fairest Bridegroom mine,
Jesus, Lamb divine,
Fervent thanks to Thee I render
For Thy love so pure and tender,
Which hath made me Thine,
Jesus, Lamb divine.
2 Treasure of my heart,
God and man Thou art,
Born in deep humiliation
To effect the world's salvation;
Ne'er from me depart,
Treasure of my heart.
3 Keep my inner sight
Ever clear and bright;
Pour on me the oil of gladness,
That through all the gloom of sadness
I may see the light
By that inner sight.
4 Here my treasures wane,
There a crown I gain;
Here but hoping and believing,
There reality perceiving,
I do not complain,
Tho' my treasures wane.
5 Jesus, dearest Friend,
Help me to contend
With the ills that come assailing,
That against them all prevailing,
Thou unto the end
Be my dearest Friend.
6 Sharon's Rose so fair,
Sweet beyond compare,
Naught but Thy good will and pleasure,
Here on earth my soul shall treasure.
All Thy grace I share,
Sharon's Rose so fair.

Cast all sloth away!
Watch, the tempter's snares are nearest,
Where the danger least thou fearest,
Such is e'er his way:
Watch, my soul, and pray!

Flesh and blood control;
When the world, with tempting story,
Points to pleasure, wealth, and glory,
Be not led astray:
Watch, my soul, and pray!

On the heavenly strand;
See God's people, thither tending,
Thro' the sea and desert wending,
Led by Joshua's hand:
Seek the goodly land!

Guard thy heritage;
Pray and fight, on Christ relying,
Live to Him, thyself denying;
Onward to the goal:
Win the crown, my soul!

Through this mortal day;
Soon thy Canaan thou attainest,
Soon thy crown and palm thou gainest;
Peace is won for aye:

Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Editors: William Romanis Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
