And lead Thou me,
Till at my journey's ending
I dwell with Thee.
Alone I dare not journey
One single day,
So do Thou guide my footsteps
On life’s rough way.
2 Oh, cover with Thy mercy
My failing heart,
Lest I in joy, or sorrow,
From Thee depart.
Permit Thy child to linger
Here at Thy feet,
Thy goodness firmly trusting
With faith complete.
3 Tho' oft Thy pow'r but faintly
May stir my soul,
With Thee, my Light in darkness,
I reach the goal.
Take then my hands, dear Father,
And lead Thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with Thee. Used With Tune: [Oh, take my hands, dear Father]
Oh, Take My Hands, Dear Father
