When I am alone, wandering far from home,

Draw me close to Thee, how I long to be,

Home at last to dwell with Thee.

Jesus, be my Guide, ever at my side,

Jesus, lead me all the way.

When in sin I fall, Jesus hear my call,

Be my Staff and Stay, show to me Thy way,

Jesus, lead me lest I stray!

This my heart shall pray, guide me day by day,

Jesus, lead me all the way.

When in sorrow’s grasp, my soul it is downcast,

Jesus stay with me and my comfort be.

Let me find my rest in Thee.

Jesus keep me there, ever in Thy care,

Jesus, lead me all the way.

Now in Judgment Day, help me to obey,

Thy true Word divine, make my heart incline,

Jesus teach me line by line.

By Thy Book revealed, all Thou hast unsealed,

Jesus, lead me all the way.

On earth’s final day, come take me away,

Where I long to be, safe at home with Thee,

Throughout all eternity!

There in heav’n to be, evermore with Thee,

Jesus, lead me all the way!

There at last to be, safe at home with Thee,

Jesus, lead me all the way.
