Lyrics

Where He may lead me I will go,
For I have learned to trust Him so,
And I re­mem­ber ’twas for me,
That He was slain on Cal­va­ry.

Refrain

Jesus shall lead me night and day,
Jesus shall lead me all the way,
He is the tru­est friend to me,
For I re­me­mber Cal­va­ry.

O I de­light in His com­mand,
Love to be led by His dear hand;
His di­vine will is sweet to me,
Hallowed by blood­stained Cal­va­ry.

Refrain

Onward I go, nor doubt nor fear,
Happy with Christ my Sav­ior near,
Trusting that I some day shall see,
Jesus my friend of Cal­va­ry.
