Author: Dr. M. Victor Stanley Hymnal: The Gospel Chorus #92 (1902) Hymnal Title: The Gospel Chorus First Line: Lead me, O Lord, my erring footsteps guide Refrain First Line: Lead, Thou, the way Lyrics: 1 Lead me, O Lord, my erring footsteps guide, Lest I should chance to wander from Thy side; Oft-times in life the heart is prone to stray, Lead, Thou, the way, dear Lord, lead, Thou, the way. Refrain: Lead, Thou, the way, Lead, Thou, the way, And I will follow Thee, dear Lord, Lead, Thou, the Way. 2 When skies are bright and all the world is kind, Broad fields allure and paths are left behind; Should I thus wander, Lord, ere close of day, Back to a Father’s love, lead, Thou, the way. [Refrain] 3 Thou knowest, Lord, the tendency to roam; Take, then, my hand and lead me safely home; Tho’ heedlessly, O Lord, I distant stray, Bring back Thy erring child, lead, Thou, the way. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Lead me, O Lord, my erring footsteps guide]
