Author: William Henry Burleigh, 1812 - 71 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #472 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace;
Without thy guiding hand we go astray,
And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase;
Lead us through Christ, the true and living way.
2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth;
Unhelped by thee, in error's maze we grope,
While passion stains and folly dims our youth,
And age comes on, uncheered by faith or hope. A-men.
3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right;
Blindly we stumble when we walk alone,
Involved in shadows of a darkening night;
Only with thee we journey safely on.
4 Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest,
However rough and steep the pathway be,
Through joy or sorrow as thou deemest best,
Until our lives are perfected in thee.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Languages: English Tune Title: LANGRAN
