Thus far the Lord has led me on
1
Thus far the Lord has led me on;Thus far his power prolongs my days;And every evening shall make knownSome fresh memorial of his grace.
2
Much of my time has run to waste,And I, perhaps, am near my home;But he forgives my follies past,And gives me strength for days to come.
3
I lay my body down to sleep;Peace is the pillow for my head;While well-appointed angels keepTheir watchful stations round my bed.
4
Thus if the night of death should come,My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,And wait thy voice to break my tomb,With sweet salvation in the sound.
