824. Jesus, Lead the Way

1 Jesus, lead the way
Through our life's long day.
When at times the way is cherless,
Help us follow, calm and fearless.
Guide us by your hand
To the promised land.

2 Jesus, be our light
In the midst of night.
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us;
Let not faith and hope forsake us.
May we feel you near
As we worship here.

3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief;
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring.
Lord, we seek your grace
In this holy place.

4 Jesus, still lead on
Till 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.
