Tune: | [Lead kindly, dear Saviour, thro’ life’s weary way] |
Composer: | J. E. Spilman |
1 Lead kindly, dear Saviour, thro’ life’s weary way,
Forbid that I ever one moment shall stray.
Lead kindly, the road is so rough and so steep,
I surely shall perish if Thou do not keep.
Refrain:
Lead kindly, dear Saviour, thro’ this desert land;
Hold me by thy mighty and unerring hand,
And when to the valley at last I shall come,
Still lead me, dear Saviour, to heaven my home.
2 Lead kindly, dear Saviour, for I cannot know
Where dangers may lurk or where dark waters flow.
And leave me, Lord, never alone with my fear
To grope on unguided in darkness so drear. [Refrain]
3 Lead kindly, dear Saviour, till, pilgrim no more,
I sing the new song on the glorified shore.
And then, with the angels, Thy face I shall see
And fill highest heaven with praises for thee. [Refrain]
