The Cyber Hymnal ‎#11772

11772. Lead Us By Thy Hand

1 Jesus, Thy strength we need,
Sowing Thy precious seed;
In thought, or word, or deed,
Oh, lead us by the hand.

2 May we this hour be led
In righteous paths we tread;
And by Thy manna fed,
Oh, lead us by the hand.

3 As this brief fleeting day
Passes so swift away,
May we from Thee not stray,
Oh, lead us by the hand.

4 And when the hour draws nigh,
When death shall dim our eye,
Take us to Thee on high,
Oh, lead us by the hand.
