LyicsLord, lead the way the Sav-ior went,
By land and cell ob-scure,
And let our treas-ures still be spent,
Like his, up-on the poor.
Like him, through scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight,
We, in their gloomy 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.
Small are the offerings we can make;
Yet though hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Savior's sake,
They lose not their reward,
