Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10434 Meter: 7.7.7.6 First Line: Traveling to the better land Lyrics: 1 Traveling to the better land,
O’er the desert’s scorching sand,
Father! let me grasp Thy hand;
Lead me on, lead me on!
2 When at Marah, parched with heat,
I the sparkling fountain greet,
Make the bitter waters sweet;
Lead me on, lead me on!
3 When the wilderness is drear,
Show me Elim’s palm grove near,
And her wells, as crystal clear,
Lead me on, lead me on!
4 When with Amalec I fight,
Brave to battle for the right,
Give me courage, give me might:
Lead me on, lead me on!
5 In temptation, when the foe
Sorely thrusts to lay me low,
Father! conquering grace bestow,
Lead me on, lead me on!
6 Through the water, through the fire,
Never let me fail or tire,
Every step brings Canaan nigher:
Lead me on, lead me on!
7 Bid me stand on Nebo’s height,
Gaze upon the land of light,
Then, transported with the sight,
Lead me on, lead me on!
8 When I stand on Jordan’s brink,
Never let me fear or shrink;
Hold me, Father, lest I sink:
Lead me on, lead me on!
9 When the victory is won,
And eternal life begun,
Up to glory lead me on!
Lead me on, lead me on!
