Author: Anon. Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Joshua 3:17 First Line: Traveling to the better land Lyrics: 1 Traveling to the better land,
O'er the desert's scorching sand,
Father! let me grasp thy hand;
Lead me on, lead me on!
2 When at Marah, parched with heat,
I the sparkling fountain greet,
Make the bitter water sweet;
Lead me on!
3 When the wilderness is drear,
Show me Elim's palm-grove near,
And her wells, as crystal clear:
Lead me on!
4 Through the water, through the fire,
Never let me fall or tire,
Every step brings Canaan nigher;
Lead me on!
5 Bid me stand on Nebo's height,
Gaze upon the land of light,
Then, transported with the sight,
Lead me on!
6 When I stand on Jordan's brink,
Never let me fear or shrink;
Hold me, Father, lest I stink:
Lead me on!
7 When the victory is won,
And eternal life begun,
Up to glory lead me on!
Lead me on, lead me on! Topics: Christians Encouragements; Courage Used With Tune: LEAD ME ON
