95. Lead Me, Precious Savior

1 Lead me, lead me,
Lead me, precious Saviour,
Into the narrow way,
Into the narrow way.

Refrain:
Fold me, fold me,
Fold me to thy bosom,
And may I never stray, oh, never stray,
And I will praise thee evermore, yes, evermore,
And I will praise thee evermore, yes, evermore.

2 I will love thee,
Ever, ever love thee;
May sinful thoughts depart,
Oh, take them from my heart. [Refrain]

3 Lead me, fold me,
Guide, and ever keep me,
And thanks my heart will give,
Dear Saviour, while I live. [Refrain]
