Jesus, Lead the Way

Jesus, lead the way
Through our life’s long day,
When at times the way is cheerless,
Help us follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by Your hand
To the promised land.

Jesus be our light,
In the midst of night,
Let not faithless fear o’er take us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
May we feel You near
As we worship here.

When in deepest grief,
Strengthen our belief.
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Lord we seek Your grace
In this holy place.

Jesus, still lead on
`Til our rest be won:
If You lead us through rough places,
Grant us Your redeeming graces.
When our course is o’er,
Open heaven’s door.
