| Our journey to an unknown land We start, with Gods Almighty hand. Have mercy Lord, to Thee we pray Show us Thy goodness on our way |
Thee, precious Saviour, we adore; We praise and thank Thee evermore. We know against Your mighty arm, No enemy can do us harm. |
| Thou hast, Oh Lord, though all these years Saved us from many anxious fears From swords and wars and evil ways Protected us through nights and days |
What Thou hast planned, so will it be, in spite of foes opposing Thee; All mockery, ridicule, deceit Can never cause Thy work defeat. |
| If by Thy wisdom Thou willst show What seemeth best, where we shall go. For this we too shall bring Thee praise In thankfulness our voices raise. |
For friends like these, we pray to You, Who wished us well, who helped us through, As long as we, yes, every day We were permitted, here to stay. |
| Is it Thy will? Shall it so be? To leave, and go across the sea? So Lord, our will shall be Thine own We'll go the way which Thou hast shown. |
Show them Thy mercy constantly; Let them each day Thy blessings see, Until their earthly journey's o'er And dwell with Thee for evermore |
| For conscience sake we go from here Leave house and land, possessions dear, Where by Thy grace we all were fed For daily need Thou gavest bread |
Should there be those who have not heard The saving message in Thy Word; Give them the joy, show them the way That they may serve Thee every day. |
| From fire, pestilence, and flood Thou hast protected us Oh God. From early death hast saved us too; Thy grace was every morning new. |
Hypocrisy is wrong to Thee, However nice their words might be; To love their neighbor is unknown; The holier things they will disown. |
| In this we see Thy bounteous grace, If Thou willst lead us from this place. From Russia's Empire make us free This our desire, we bring to Thee. |
Now, Lord, lead Thou us by Thy hand To the already chosen land; While traveling, our companion be, Until America we see. |
| The Russian leaders were not close And dealt according as they chose; If they advantage only get It was to them the least regret. |
Also, while on the sea we sail, Thy grace and mercy shall not fail; Lead safely us; our families too; Keep us until our journey's through. |
| 'Tis then when truth has been left out The poor are wronged without a doubt; Since oft declined the rights and laws It only can much hardship cause. |
Should storms arise or waves beat high, We know our God is always nigh; At Thy command the wind is still And naught can rise against Thy will. |
| For the officials we do pray That they may learn to know Thy way; Oh give them grace that they may see Thee as their judge, this is our plea. |
Thy rod and staff will comfort give, In the new land, while we yet live; So lead us on till life is o'er Where we will praise Thee evermore. |
