CH1941, Hymn #211

Verse 1
Holy Spirit, faithful Guide,
Ever near the Christian’s side,
Gently lead us by the hand
Pilgrims in a desert land;
Weary souls fore’er rejoice,
While they hear that sweetest voice,
Whispering softly, “Wand'rer, come!
Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.”

Verse 2
Ever present, truest Friend,
Ever near Thine aid to lend,
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear;
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o’er—
Whisper softly, “Wanderer, come!
Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.”

Verse 3
When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heaven and prayer,
Wondering if our names were there;
Wading deep the dismal flood,
Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood,
Whisper softly, “Wanderer, come!
Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.”
