Hymn 566 – LEADER of faithful souls and guide | C&S English Hymnary

1. LEADER of faithful souls and guide Of all that travel to the sky Come, and with us, e’en us abide Who would on Thee alone rely On Thee alone our spirits stay While held in life’s uneven way. 2. Stangers and pilgrims here below This earth, we know, is not our place But hasten through the vale of woe And, restless to behold Thy face Swift to our heavenly country move Our everlasting home above. 3. Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne Freely and graciously forgiven With songs to Zion we return Contending for our native heaven That palace of our glorious King We find it nearer while we sing. 4. Raised by the breath of love divine We urge our way with strength renew’d The church of the first-born to join We travel to the mount of God With joy upon our heads arise And meet our Captain in the skies AMEN
