[Along a weary way we go]
“Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My Father, Thou art the guide of my youth?”
—Jer. iii. 4.
Along a weary way we go,
A way we fear to tread,
For round it watches many a foe,
And many a snare is spread.
Unless Thou, Lord, our Leader be,
Our feet must wander wide;
From this time will we cry to Thee,
O Father, be our Guide.
A way we fear to tread,
For round it watches many a foe,
And many a snare is spread.
Unless Thou, Lord, our Leader be,
Our feet must wander wide;
From this time will we cry to Thee,
O Father, be our Guide.
Thou Shepherd of the blood-bought sheep,
Our fainting steps uphold;
Thy tender lambs in safety keep,
And bear us to Thy fold.
From every danger we are free
While following at Thy side;
From this time will we cry to Thee,
O Saviour be our guide.
Our fainting steps uphold;
Thy tender lambs in safety keep,
And bear us to Thy fold.
From every danger we are free
While following at Thy side;
From this time will we cry to Thee,
O Saviour be our guide.
Each day we see, our souls anew
We cast upon Thy care,
Each step we take life's journey thro'
We ask Thy presence there;
Till we the better country see
Where all Thy saints abide,
Each day we live we'll cry to Thee,
O Jesus, be our guide.
We cast upon Thy care,
Each step we take life's journey thro'
We ask Thy presence there;
Till we the better country see
Where all Thy saints abide,
Each day we live we'll cry to Thee,
O Jesus, be our guide.
