1 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won;
And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow calm and fearless,
Guide us by Thy hand
To our fatherland.
Till our rest be won;
And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow calm and fearless,
Guide us by Thy hand
To our fatherland.
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let no faithless fears o'ertake us;
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a woe
To our home we go.
If the foe be near,
Let no faithless fears o'ertake us;
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a woe
To our home we go.
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief:
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
