Text:The Lord Led On
Author:John R. Clements
Tune:[The chosen hosts from Egypt went]
Composer:J. H. Hall

83. The Lord Led On

1 The chosen hosts from Egypt went;
The way to them was new;
Yet journey’d on, at heart content
The Lord would bring then through.

Refrain:
By pillar and cloud the Lord led on,
From Egypt to Canaan’s strand;
Thro’ the wilderness way,
By night and by day,
Up to the promised land.

2 We as in darkness need not grope,
Nor coming day e’er dread;
If we but make the Lord our hope,
And follow where we’re led. [Refrain]

3 To walk “by faith” with God to lead,
Might well our pleasure be;
To hear His voice, and then to heed,
Were better than to see. [Refrain]
