Hymn 417 - Jesus Leads Us Home

Along the sandy desert, ’Mid scorching winds that blow;

Across the rugged mountains, Whose tops are white with snow;

Or in the darksome valley Where’er our feet may roam,

How sweet the blest assurance, That Jesus leads us home!

It makes us glad and joyful, And lightens ev’ry load,

To know that He goes with us Along life’s rugged road;

Each day we feel His presence, Tho’ trials oft may come;

How sweet the blest assurance, That Jesus leads us home!

The flow'rs beside our pathway May wither, fade, and die;

But fairer ones are blooming For us beyond the sky:

And tho’ ’mid care and sorrow Our weary steps may roam,

How sweet the blest assurance, That Jesus leads us home!

REFRAIN

That Jesus leads us home,

That Jesus leads us home,

How sweet the blest assurance,

That Jesus leads us home!
