[Chorus] 3 Jesus, ever go before me, Shining heaven's sunlight o'er me, And when weak, by grace restore me As I follow, follow all the way. [Chorus] 4 Thro' the valley safely lead me, Heav'nly manna daily feed me; Ev'ry hour, dear Lord, I need thee As I follow, follow all the way. [Chorus] 5 In thy heart's affection, hold me, In thy arms of love enfold me, And with thine own grace uphold me, As I follow, follow all the way.
