Author: Jas. Edmeston Hymnal: The Christian Sunday School Hymnal #31 (1883) First Line: Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
O'er the world's tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but thee;
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.
2 Savior, breathe forgiveness o'er us;
All our weakness thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe.
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert thou didst go.
3 Let thy Spirit, now attending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy;
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy.
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy. Scripture: Psalm 31:3 Tune Title: [Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us]
Happy Zion
