1 Lord, where Thou wilt—it matters not to me,
If Thou art near, and I can cling to Thee;
For I am weak, so weak, I am afraid
To take one step without Thy kindly aid.

Refrain:
Lead Thou my way, my fainting heart sustain;
Lead Thou my way, and make my duty plain;
Lead Thou my way, then shall I fear no ill,
If Thou, my “Rod and Staff,” art with me still.

2 Lord, where Thou wilt—it matters not to me,
Tho’ skies may frown, and dark my path may be;
I am content, since Thou, my Life, my Light,
Canst pierce the veil that hangs o’er darkest night. [Refrain]

3 Lord, where Thou wilt—it matters not to me,
If faith’s clear eye the polar star may see;
If I can read my title to a home
Where sin and death and night can never come. [Refrain]
