1. Christ Jesus, lead us on! True First-Born from the dead, awake in us a living hope and feed us, Living Bread, with strength to show your love and prove what you can do to free the slave and find the lost and make the world anew. 2. Christ Jesus, lead us on through those your Spirit leads: who trust your voice and spread your word and tend your growing seeds. Breathe through the silent text till scripture comes alive as tired believers smile and sing and seeking spirits thrive. 3. Since first you drained the cup of death, defeat, despair, whoever drinks and eats with you can taste your glory there. No power can quench the hope that feeds your Spirit's flame with peaceful words, forgiving deeds, and service in your name. 4. Upon your way we'll go with love securely clad, and wade across the shallow tides of fortune, fame, and fad. Till equity and peace stand shining in the dawn, through day and darkness, depth and height, Christ Jesus, lead us on!
