Lyrics

In all my Lord’s ap­point­ed ways
My jour­ney I’ll pur­sue;
Hinder me not! ye much loved saints,
For I must go with you.

Through floods and flames, if Je­sus lead,
I’ll fol­low where He goes;
Hinder me not! shall be my cry,
Though earth and hell op­pose.

Through du­ty, and through tri­als too,
I’ll go at His com­mand;
Hinder me not! for I am bound
To my Im­ma­nu­el’s land.

And when my Sav­ior calls me home,
Still this my cry shall be,
Hinder me not! come, wel­come death;
I’ll glad­ly go with Thee!
