Author: Rev. M. J. Savage Hymnal: Hymnal, Amore Dei #6 (1890) Lyrics: O Star of Truth, down shining,
Through clouds of doubt and fear,
I ask but 'neath Thy guidance
My pathway may appear.
However long the journey,
How hard so e'er it be,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow Thee!
I know Thy blessed radiance
Can never lead astray,
However ancient custom
May tread some other way.
E'en if through untrod deserts,
Or over trackless sea,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow Thee!
The bleeding feet of martyrs
Thy toilsome road have trod;
But fires of human passion
May light the way to God.
Then, though my feet should falter,
While I Thy beams can see,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow Thee!
Though loving friends forsake me,
Or plead with me in tears;
Though angry foes may threaten,
To shake my soul with fears;
Still to my high allegiance
I must not faithless be:
Through life or death, forever,
Lead on, I'll follow Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
