Hymn 368
Leader of faithful souls, and Guide
Amọna ọka’n at’Ọgá
- Leader of faithful souls, and Guide
Of all that travel to the sky,
Come and with us, ev'n us abide,
Who would on thee alone rely;
On thee alone our spirits stay,
While held in life’s uneven way. - Strangers and pilgrims here below,
This earth, we know, is not our place,
But hasten through the vale of woe,
And restless to behold thy face:
Swift to our heavenly country move,
Our everlasting home above. - Thro' thee, who all our sins hast borne,
Freely and graciously forgiven,
With songs to Zion we return,
Contending for our native heaven;
That palace of our glorious King,
We find it nearer while we sing. - Raised by the breath of love divine,
We urge our way with strength renew'd.
The church of the first-born to join,
We travel to the mount of God;
With joy upon our heads arise,
And meet our Captain in the skies. Amen.
