127. Lead Me Gently Home, Father

1 Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home,
When life's toils are ended,
And parting days have come.
Sin no more shall tempt me;
Ne'er from thee I'll roam,
If thou'lt only lead me, Father,
Lead me gently home.

Chorus:
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently;
Lead I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.

2 Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home,
In life's darkest hours, Father,
When life's troubles come;
Keep my feet from wand'ring,
Lest from thee I roam,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home. [Chorus]
