Crosswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went, By lane and cell obscure, And let our treasures still be spent, Like his, upon the poor. 2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world's sad weight, We, in their gloomy loneliness, Would see the desolate. 3 For thou hast placed us side by side In this wide world of ill; And that thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still. 4 Small are the offerings we can make; Yet thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Saviour's sake, They lose not their reward.

For those passed on before us, we sing our praise anew and, walking in their footsteps, would live our lives for you. 2 We praise you for the Baptist, forerunner of the Word, our true Elijah, making a highway for the Lord. The last and greatest prophet, he saw the dawning ray of light that grows in splendor until the perfect day. 3 All praise, O Lord, for Andrew, the first to welcome you, whose witness to his brother named you Messiah true. May we, with hearts kept open to you throughout the year proclaim to friend and neighbor your advent ever near. 4 For Magdalene we praise you, steadfast at cross and tomb. Your “Mary!” in the garden dispelled her tears and gloom. Apostle to the apostles, she ran to spread the word. Send us to shout the good news that we have seen the Lord! 5 We pray for saints we know not, for saints still yet to be, for grace to bear true witness and serve you faithfully, till all the ransomed number who stand before the throne ascribe all power and glory and praise to God alone.
