Author: Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760; Jane L. Borthwick, 1813-1897 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #624 (2006) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Worship Lyrics: 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 your hand to the promised land.
2 If the way be drear, if the foe be near,
let no faithless fears o'ertake us,
let not faith and hope forsake us;
safely past the foe to our home we go.
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.
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 the promised land. Topics: Grief, Sorrow; Hope, Assurance; Grief, Sorrow; Hope, Assurance; Journey, Pilgrimage; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM
