Deep are the shades of mortal night

1 Deep are the shades of mortal night,
Dark are the stains of sin’s foul blight;
Yet, through it all there shineth light—
Jesus is leading me on!

Refrain:
Jesus is leading, praise His name!
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain;
Jesus, my one, my only claim,
He leadeth me.

2 I have no fear when near His side,
Naught can alarm me, nor betide;
Safe as a child, I’m satisfied,
Jesus is leading me on! [Refrain]

3 Summer or winter, sun or rain,
Sickness or worry, loss or gain;
Gladness or sorrow, pleasure, pain—
Jesus is leading me on! [Refrain]

4 Hourly He keeps me by His grace,
Dearer each day this blessed place;
Close to His side, then “face to face”—
Jesus is leading me on! [Refrain]
