JESUS, STILL LEAD ON.
"Jesu, geh Voran."
"They forsook all, and followed him."--Luke 5:11.
Ludwig von Zinzendorf
transl., Jane Borthwick, 1846, 1854
|
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.
|
|
If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us
For, through many a foe,
To our home we go!
|
|
When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief--
When oppressed by new temptations,
Lord, increase and perfect patience.
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more!
|
|
Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won!
23
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our Fatherland!
