92. Gently Lead Us

1 When temptation's darts assail us,
When in devious paths we stray,
Let Thy goodness never fail us,
Lead us in Thy perfect way.

Chorus:
Gently, gently, Lord, O gently lead us;
Gently, lead us
Thru this vale of tears.
Thru the changes Thou'st decreed us,
Till our last great change appears.
Gently lead us
Thru this vale of tears.

2 In the hour of pain and anguish,
In the hour when death draws near,
Suffer not our hearts to languish,
Suffer not our souls to fear. [Chorus]

3 When this mortal life is ended,
Bid us in Thine arms to rest,
Till, by angel bands attended,
We awake among the blest. [Chorus]
