Author: John P. Hopps, 1834-1911 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #555 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Father, lead me day by day,
Ever in Thine own good way;
Teach me to be pure and true,
Show me what I ought to do.
2 When in danger, make me brave;
Make me know that Thou canst save;
Keep me safely by Thy side;
Let me in Thy love abide.
3 When I’m tempted to do wrong,
Make me steadfast, wise, and strong;
And when all alone I stand,
Shield me with Thy mighty hand.
4 May I do the good I know,
Serving gladly here below;
Then at last go home to Thee,
Evermore Thine own to be.
Amen. Topics: The Living Church Children's Hymns; Walking with God; Youth Scripture: Matthew 8:19 Languages: English Tune Title: ORIENTIS PARTIBUS
