The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#52

52. Take My Hand and Lead Me

1 I want to live, dear Lord, for Thee,
Oh! keep me ev'ry day;
A faithful witness let me be,
Along life's rugged way.

Chorus:
Take my hand and lead me,
Anywhere you need me;
With Thy Spirit feed me,
Till I'm safe at home.

2 When Satan would my hopes alarm,
Oh! shelter Thou, my soul;
Protect me with Thy mighty arm,
Thy strength will keep me whole. [Chorus]

3 Let me each day, Thy spirit feel;
Increase my courage, Lord,
To walk by faith, endowed with zeal,
Directed by Thy Word. [Chorus]
