Lyrics

Beautiful man­sions, home of the blest,
Land here the faith­ful ev­er shall rest;
There is my trea­sure, there shall I be;
Lord I am wea­ry, lead me to Thee.

Refrain

Savior, be near me,
Thy gen­tle voice can cheer me;
O Je­sus, my Sav­ior, lead me to Thee.

Here in a de­sert cheer­less I roam.
Laden with sor­row, far from my home.
Clouds on my path­way dark­ly I see;
Lord I am wea­ry, lead me to Thee.

Refrain

Thou wilt not leave me com­fort­less here.
Why should I doubt Thee? What do I fear?
Light in the dist­ance break­ing I see,
Yet I am wea­ry, lead me to Thee.

Refrain

Jesus, I love Thee, dwell in my heart;
Never, O ne­ver from me de­part.
Hope like a rain­bow, shin­ing, I see,
Yet I am wea­ry, lead me to Thee.
