The Service of Praise ‎#59

59. The Father’s Love

1 Guide thou my steps, I cry to thee,
When clouds my pathway hide;
Then, Lord, I pray thee, help thou me
Press closer to thy side.

Refrain:
Tho’ oft afflictions cloud my days,
‘Mid all my griefs I’ll sing thy praise;
For tho’ my way may shadowed be,
Thou still dost love and care for me.

2 Thro’ darkest days I catch the glow
Of thine unfailing love,
And still it shines for me, I know,
The night and storm above. [Refrain]

3 I shall not fall, when thou art near,
For thou my strength will be;
Nor cloud, nor shadow will I fear,
Thou still wilt care for me. [Refrain]
