Hymn by Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf 1700—1760.

Jesus Still Lead On

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.

If the way be drear, if the foe be near,
Let no faithless fears o’ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us,
For through many a woe to our home we go.

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.

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

German:

Jesu geh voran

Jesu, geh voran auf der Lebensbahn,
Und wir wollen nicht verweilen,
Dir getreulich nachzueilen;
Führ uns an der Hand bis ins Vaterland.

Soll’s uns hart ergehn, lass uns feste stehn
Und auch in den schersten Tagen
Niemals über Lasten klagen;
Denn durch Trübsal hier geht der Weg zu dir.

Rühret eigner Schmerz irgend unser Herz
Kümmert uns ein fremdes Leiden,
O so gib Geduld zu beiden;
Richte unsern Sinn auf das Ende hin!

Ordne unsern Gang, Jesu, lebenslang.
Führst du uns durch rauhe Wege
Gib uns auch die nötge Pflege;
Tu uns nach dem Lauf deine Türe auf.
