15346. Father In Heav'n, Look Down, I Pray

1 Father in Heav’n, look down, I pray,
And guide my steps throughout the day;
Let not my thoughts to sin incline,
But fill me with Thy grace divine.

2 Let all my words and actions be
Restrained and governed, Lord, by Thee;
Bless my dear friends whom Thou has giv’n
To teach my soul the way to Heav’n.

3 Bless me, dear Lord, again I pray;
Let nothing tempt me from the way
Which leads at last, through Jesus’ love
To that sweet home of joy above.
