Az Úr Vezet

Representative Text

1 Az Úr vezet: áldott tudat!
Melyből égi öröm árad.
Bármit tegyek, bárhol legyek,
Mindig Isten keze vezet!

Kar:
Tudom, vezet, tudom, vezet,
Kezében tartja kezemet.
Hű követőd, ó, hadd legyek,
Hisz’ Te tartod a kezemet.

2 Bár néha sok baj vesz körül,
Vagy szívem Édennek örül,
Csendes vizen—hullámhegyen,
Átvezet Ő a tengeren! [Kar]

3 Kezedbe teszem kezemet,
Balga önfejűségemet,
Elégedetten veszem át,
Mit Isten keze nékem ád. [Kar]

4 Ha éltem itt bevégezem,
S enyém Veled a győzelem,
Jordántól meg nem rettenek,
Oda is Istennel megyek! [Kar]
