His Worthy Praise ‎#66

66. Christ Leads the Way

1 Christ leads the way,
And we follow him, trusting day by day;
Fearless are we,
For our strength and shield is he;
By his loving care surrounded,
‘Neath his banners gleaming bright,
We’ll win the day,
In the battle for truth and right.

Refrain:
He will lead
In the battle for the right;
Jesus leads and we will follow,
Strong in his might;
Haste away,
In the name of Christ the King,
While o’er the world
Songs of vict’ry shall loudly ring.

2 Christ leads the way,
And his soldiers true must his call obey;
Onward we go,
Dreading not to meet the foe;
Ev’ry thought and word and action,
Must our loyalty proclaim;
True hearts will win,
For our watchword is Jesus’ name. [Refrain]

3 Christ leads the way,
He our comfort is, he our hope and stay;
Ne’er will he fail,
But with him shall we prevail;
Onward then into the conflict,
With the mighty hosts of sin;
Following Christ,
We the vict’ry shall surely win. [Refrain]
