Lyrics
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Who is this woman? 
Where has she come from? 
What is she saying to us? 
Eyes fixed ahead, 
set on her goal 
Bearing her secret within. 
How beautiful are the feet of those 
Who brings the gospel of peace. 
Step up to the challenge! 
Step up without fear 
All will be well, for God is near! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Who is this woman? 
Where is she going? 
Why is she travelling so far? 
Striding out, spirited and strong 
Pursuing her dream to its end. 
O take my hand and walk with me 
Come, and sing my song! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Who is this woman? 
What is she thinking? 
What is leading her on? 
The strength of her spirit, 
The love of her Lord 
This is what keeps her going. 
How beautiful are the feet of those 
Who brings the gospel of peace. 
Step up to the challenge! 
Step up without fear 
All will be well, for God is near! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
We are this woman 
When we have courage 
To stand up for what we believe 
Speaking the truth, trusting in God, 
Acting for freedom and justice. 
O take my hand and walk with me 
Come, and sing my song! 
How beautiful are the feet of those 
Who brings the gospel of peace. 
Step up to the challenge! 
Step up without fear 
All will be well, for God is near! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us! 
Lead us on, Mary Ward, lead us!
