Jesus, while this rough desert soil
I tread, be thou my guide and stay:
Nerve me for con?ict and for toil;
Uphold me on my stranger-way!
Jesus, in heaviness and fear
Mid cloud, and shade, and gloom,I stray,
For earth's last night is drawing near;
Oh, cheer me on my stranger-way!
Jesus, in solitude and grief;
When sun and stars withhold their ray,
Make haste, make haste to my relief!
Oh, light me on my stranger-way!
Jesus, in weakness of this flesh,
When Satan grasps me for his prey,
Oh, give me victory afresh,
And speed me on my stranger-way!
