Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#16

16. Lead the Children

1 Lead the children, gently lead them
In the way of God’s commands;
Point them to each sacred duty
And engage their little hands.

Refrain:
Lead them in the golden pathway,
Guide them on to endless day;
Pray that God may bless and keep the,
In the straight and narrow way.

2 Lead them to the feet of Jesus,
Leave them in his loving care;
He will surely bless and help them,
All their little crosses bear. [Refrain]

3 Lead the children, always lead them,
With their weakness do forbear,
Lead them all in kindness with you,
To the mercy seat of pray’r. [Refrain]
