HE LEADS US ON
He leads us on
By paths we did not know;
Upward he leads us though
our steps be slow.
Though oft we faint and falter
on the way,
Though storms and darkness oft obscure the day,
Yet when the clouds are gone
We know he leads us on.
He leads us on
Through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and
doubts and fears,
He guides our steps.
Through all the tangled maze
Of sin, of sorrow, .and
o'erclouded days
We know his will is done;
And still he leads us on.
And he, at last,
After the weary strife---
After the restless fever we call life--
After the dreariness, the aching pain,
The wayward struggles which have
proved in vain,
After our toils are past,
Will give us rest at last.
He leads us on
By paths we did not know;
Upward he leads us though
our steps be slow.
Though oft we faint and falter
on the way,
Though storms and darkness oft obscure the day,
Yet when the clouds are gone
We know he leads us on.
He leads us on
Through all the unquiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and
doubts and fears,
He guides our steps.
Through all the tangled maze
Of sin, of sorrow, .and
o'erclouded days
We know his will is done;
And still he leads us on.
And he, at last,
After the weary strife---
After the restless fever we call life--
After the dreariness, the aching pain,
The wayward struggles which have
proved in vain,
After our toils are past,
Will give us rest at last.
