Jesus only ye.
Shall my leader be.
Show to me your holy pathways.
All your truth and narrow walkways.
Stay with strength by me.
That I follow thee.
While you came for those.
That you saw were lost.
To lead them back to salvation.
Losing no lambs to perdition.
As a knave I plead.
To you Lord me lead.
True and good shepherd.
When you see I've have erred.
Lost little sheep out in the wild-earth.
Take me to your fold and safe-hearth.
Lead me back please do.
That I am with you.
When time comes to die.
Please be by my side.
Lead me on through deaths dark valley.
And prepare me for great glory.
That I see me stand.
Near at your right hand.
I've tried this before, years ago- this translating of our hymns into English. Admittedly, I was probably to young even grasp what they really meant [the essence of them, so to speak] so I never got far.
ReplyDeleteThe ones that I've read here so far, they're good. You do a good job. "Jesus only ye, shall my leader be' got me with this one: that's brilliant!
Thank you Eva
