HYMN 5. 6 lines 8s MIM 10

1 Leader of faithful souls, and guide
Of all that travel to the sky,
Come, and with us, e’en us, abide,
Who would on thee alone rely;
On thee alone our spirits stay,
While held in life’s uneven way. MIM 10.1

2 Strangers and pilgrims here below,
This earth, we know, is not our place;
But hasten through the vale of wo,
And restless to behold thy face,
Swift to our heavenly country move,
Our everlasting home above. MIM 10.2

3 We have no ‘biding city here,
But seek a city out of sight;
Thither our steady course we steer,
Aspiring to the plains of light,
Jerusalem, the saints’ abode,
Whose founder is the living God. MIM 10.3
