Tune:[Saviour, lead me, lest I stray]

368. Lead Me, Saviour

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

2 Thou the refuge of my soul,
When life's stormy billows roll;
I am safe when Thou art nigh,
On Thy mercy I rely. [Refrain]

3 Saviour, lead me, till at last,
When the storm of life is past,
I shall reach the endless day,
Where all tears are wiped away. [Refrain]
