12544. Lead Me, Blessed Jesus

1 Lead me, blessed Jesus, by Thy guiding hand;
Should temptations cross my path, help me to withstand.
Make Thy grace sufficient always sin to shun;
Closely walking with Thee, till my course is run.

2 Take me, gracious Master, by Thy gentle hand,
May I seek to know Thy will, yield to Thy command.
O direct my pathway, and should thorns infest,
Order all my footsteps, show me what is best.

3 Guide me, loving Savior, all my pilgrim way,
Keep my heart so near to Thine that I shall not stray.
Should the skies be lowering, and distress allowed,
Let some silver lining tinge the gloomy cloud.

4 Come, Thou dear Redeemer, claim me as Thine own;
So control my daily life, make my heart Thy throne.
Cleanse me by Thy power, that from sin set free,
I shall use my talents— give my strength to Thee.
