Author: Nicholaus Ludwig von Zinzendorg, 1700-1760; Jane Laurie Borthwick, 1813-1897 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #124 (1970) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest is won,
And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by Thy hand
To our fatherland.
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us;
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For, through many a woe
To our home we go.
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief,
When oppressed by new temptations,
Lord, increase and perfect patience;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest is won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland. Topics: Praise and Testimony Languages: English Tune Title: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM (ARNSTADT)
