The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3867

3867. Lead Me, Savior

1. Savior, lead me, lest I stray,
Gently lead me all the way;
I am safe when by Thy side,
I would in Thy love abide.

Refrain
Lead me, lead me, Savior, lead me lest I stray;
Gently down the stream of time,
Lead me, Savior, all the way.

2. Thou the refuge of my soul
When life’s stormy billows roll;
I am safe when Thou art nigh,
All my hopes on Thee rely. [Refrain]

3. Savior, lead me, then at last,
When the storm of life is past,
To the land of endless day,
Where all tears are wiped away. [Refrain]
