| Text: | Thus Far the Lord Has Led Me On |
| Author: | Isaac Watts |
| Tune: | HEBRON |
| Composer: | L. Mason |
1 Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far His pow’r prolongs my days;
And ev’ry evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of His grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps, am near my home;
But He forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head,
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
4 Thus, when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait Thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.
