Lord, Lead the Way the Saviour Went

Verse 1

Lord, lead the way the Saviour went,
By lane and cell obscure;
And let love’s treasures still be spent
Like His, upon the poor.

Verse 2

Like Him, through scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world’s sad weight,
We, in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.

Verse 3

For Thou hast placed us side by side
In this wide world of ill;
And, that Thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.

Verse 4

Mean are all offerings we can make;
Yet Thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Saviour’s sake,
They lose not their reward.
