Verse 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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Jesus, still lead on till our rest be won; Heav'nly Leader, still direct us, still support, console, protect us, till we safely stand in our Fatherland.
