1 Lord, lead the way the Savior went,
By lane and cell obscure,
And let love’s treasures still be spent,
Like His, upon the poor.
By lane and cell obscure,
And let love’s treasures still be spent,
Like His, upon the poor.
2 Like Him thro' scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world’s sad weight,
We, in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
Who bore the world’s sad weight,
We, in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
3 For Thou hast placed us side by side,
In this wide world of ill,
And, that Thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
In this wide world of ill,
And, that Thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
