1 Jesus! be our Guide,
As thro' life we glide;
Faithfully in our behavior
May we follow Thee, dear Savior,
Lead us by Thy hand
Thro' to fatherland.
2 When the world is cold,
Let us to Thee hold;
When the cup of sorrow draining,
May we do so uncomplaining;
For thro' trials we
Find our way to Thee.
3 When affliction's smart
Anguishes the heart--
Though our life be woe and weakness,
Help us bear our cross in meekness;
May we keep in mind,
God's a Father kind.
4 Order Thou our ways,
Lord! Through all our days;
Though our path be dark and cheerless,
Jesus with us, we'll be fearless;
Open, when life's o'er,
Lord! to us Thy door!
