Lord, Lead the Way the Savior Went

Lord

lead the way the Sav­ior went

By lane and cell ob­scure;

And let love’s trea­sures still be spent

Like His

up­on the poor.

Like Him

through scenes of deep dis­tress

Who bore the world’s sad weight

We

in their crowd­ed lone­li­ness

Would seek the de­so­late.

For Thou hast placed us side by side

In this wide world of ill;

And

that Thy fol­low­ers may be tried

The poor are with us still.

Mean are all of­fer­ings we can make;

Yet Thou hast taught us

Lord

If giv­en for the Sav­ior’s sake

They lose not their re­ward.
