Lyrics:
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 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
safely past the foe 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;
Heav'nly leader, still direct us,
still support, console, protect us,
till we safely stand in our fatherland.
