1 Jesus, lead us all the way,
Lest our wand’ring footsteps stray;
Gently lead us by the hand,
Till we reach the promised land.
Chorus:
May we in the narrow way abide,
Loving Savior, keep us by Thy side;
Blessed Jesus, lead us gently by Thy hand,
Till we reach the promised land.
2 Grant to us Thy spirit’s pow’r,
Keep us faithful hour by hour;
When the gloomy shadows come,
Lead us till we reach our home. [Chorus]
3 Should we weary on our way,
Be our sole support and stay;
In the path tho’ thorns there be,
May we ever cling to Thee. [Chorus]
4 Thou hast borne life’s weary load,
Thou hast walked life’s thorny road,
Thorns have pierc’d Thy sacred brow;
Savior, we will trust Thee now. [Chorus]
