Author: Ida L. Reed Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #146 (1904) Hymnal Title: The Voice of Praise First Line: Guide thou my steps, I cry to thee Refrain First Line: Tho' oft afflictions cloud my days Lyrics: 1 Guide thou my steps, I cry to thee,
When clouds my pathway hide;
Then, Lord, I pray thee, help thou me
Press closer to thy side.
Chorus:
Tho' oft afflictions cloud my days,
'Mid all my griefs I'll sing thy praise;
For tho' my way shadowed be,
Thou still doest love and care for me.
2 Thro' darkest days I catch the glow,
Of thine unfailing love,
And still it shines for me, I know,
The night and storm above. [Chorus]
3 I shall not fall, when thou art near,
For thou my strength will be;
Nor cloud, nor shadow will I fear,
Thou still wilt care for me. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Guide thou my steps, I cry to thee]
The Father's Love
