| Text: | Take My Hand, Dear Father |
| Author: | Mrs. E. C. Ellsworth |
| Tune: | [Take my hand, dear Father] |
| Composer: | Chas. Edw. Prior |
1. Take my hand, dear Father,
Lead me safely through;
For the gate is narrow,
And the way is new.
Chorus:
Take my hand, oh, take it,
Hold me close to Thee;
For with Thee is safety,
Hold then, hold Thou me.
2. Take my hand, dear Father,
Lest I meet a snare,
And my feet should stumble
While I'm unaware. [Chorus]
3. Take my hand, dear Father,
Be my guard and guide;
Nought shall ever harm me,
While I'm near Thy side. [Chorus]
