Jesus, still lead on,

by Nicolaus L. Zinzendorf (1700–1760) · translated by Jane Laurie Borthwick

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 676 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

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

Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won; Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our fatherland.
