1. The Lord again has given
His counsel and His will;
He came to live among us,
His promise to fulfill.
2. We never are forsaken
With Christ our Lord so near.
His faithfulness revealing,
We feel His presence here.
3. He grasps our hands to lead us
Up to the mansions bright.
His fold He is preparing;
He’ll lead our hearts aright.
4. His wholesome word accepting,
May we His likeness bear.
By works and deeds confessing,
His righteousness we’d share.
5. May we in silence striving,
In Christ each vict’ry gain,
And with the Spirit’s guidance,
Submissive still remain.
6. So march then boldly onward;
Our Saviour’s in the lead!
He, as a faithful shepherd,
Sustains us in our need.
7. We shall not be regretful
We trod the narrow way.
We know the Lord is faithful,
Whose call we did obey.
8. We earnestly are striving
For that which brings us peace,
Renouncing sin, abhorring
The world’s iniquities.
9. Protect, O Lord, Thy children,
As we still tarry here,
That we in realms of glory
May then with Thee appear.
10. Our songs of praise ascending
In heaven’s melody,
There in Thy glorious kingdom
We’ll ever worship Thee.
His counsel and His will;
He came to live among us,
His promise to fulfill.
2. We never are forsaken
With Christ our Lord so near.
His faithfulness revealing,
We feel His presence here.
3. He grasps our hands to lead us
Up to the mansions bright.
His fold He is preparing;
He’ll lead our hearts aright.
4. His wholesome word accepting,
May we His likeness bear.
By works and deeds confessing,
His righteousness we’d share.
5. May we in silence striving,
In Christ each vict’ry gain,
And with the Spirit’s guidance,
Submissive still remain.
6. So march then boldly onward;
Our Saviour’s in the lead!

Sustains us in our need.
7. We shall not be regretful
We trod the narrow way.

For that which brings us peace,

That we in realms of glory
May then with Thee appear.
10. Our songs of praise ascending
In heaven’s melody,
There in Thy glorious kingdom
We’ll ever worship Thee.
