Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #861 (2006) Meter: Irregular Hymnal Title: Lutheran Service Book First Line: Christ be my Leader by night as by day Lyrics: 1 Christ be my leader by night as by day;
Safe through the darkness, for He is the way.
Gladly I follow, my future His care,
Darkness is daylight when Jesus is there.
2 Christ be my teacher in age as in youth,
Drifting or doubting, for He is the truth.
Grant me to trust Him; though shifting as sand,
Doubt cannot daunt me; in Jesus I stand.
3 Christ be my Saviour in calm as in strife;
Death cannot hold me, for He is the Life.
Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain
Can touch my salvation: with Jesus I reign.
