Lord, Thy children guide and keep

Appears in 47 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thy children guide and keep, As with feeble steps they press On the pathway, rough and steep, Through this weary wilderness. Holy Jesus, day by day Lead us in the narrow way. 2 There are stony ways to tread; Give the strength we sorely lack: There are tangled paths to thread; Light us, lest we miss the track. Holy Jesus, day by day Lead us in the narrow way. 3 There are sandy wastes that lie Cold and sunless, vast and drear, Where the feeble faint and die; Grant us grace to persevere. Holy Jesus, day by day Lead us in the narrow way. 4 There are soft and flowery glades Deck'd with golden-fruited trees; Sunny slopes and scented shades; Keep us, Lord, from slothful ease. Holy Jesus, day by day Lead us in the narrow way. 5 Upward still to purer heights, Onward yet to scenes more blest,, Calmer regions, clearer lights, Till we reach the promised rest. Holy Jesus, day by day Lead us in the narrow way. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Death Used With Tune: CANTERBURY

George Duffield

1818 - 1888 Author of "Blessed Saviour! Thee I love" in The New Children's Hymnal Duffield, George, Jr., D.D., son of the Rev. Dr. Duffield, a Presbyterian Minister, was born at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Sept. 12, 1818, and graduated at Yale College, and at the Union Theological Seminary, New York. From 1840 to 1847 he was a Presbyterian Pastor at Brooklyn; 1847 to 1852, at Bloomfield, New Jersey; 1852 to 1861, at Philadelphia; 1861 to 1865, at Adrian, Michigan; 1865 to 1869, at Galesburg, Illinois; 1869, at Saginaw City, Michigan; and from 1869 at Ann Arbor and Lansing, Michigan. His hymns include;— 1. Blessed Saviour, Thee I love. Jesus only. One of four hymns contributed by him to Darius E. Jones's Temple Melodies, 1851. It is in 6 stanzas of 6 lines. In Dr. Hatfield's Church Hymnbook it is given in 3 stanzas. The remaining three hymns of the same date are:— 2. Parted for some anxious days. Family Hymn. 3. Praise to our heavenly Father, God. Family Union. 4. Slowly in sadness and in tears. Burial. 5. Stand up, stand up for Jesus. Soldiers of the Cross. The origin of this hymn is given in Lyra Sac. Americana, 1868, p. 298, as follows:— "I caught its inspiration from the dying words of that noble young clergyman, Rev. Dudley Atkins Tyng, rector of the Epiphany Church, Philadelphia, who died about 1854. His last words were, ‘Tell them to stand up for Jesus: now let us sing a hymn.' As he had been much persecuted in those pro-slavery days for his persistent course in pleading the cause of the oppressed, it was thought that these words had a peculiar significance in his mind; as if he had said, ‘Stand up for Jesus in the person of the downtrodden slave.' (Luke v. 18.)" Dr. Duffield gave it, in 1858, in manuscript to his Sunday School Superintendent, who published it on a small handbill for the children. In 1858 it was included in The Psalmist, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines. It was repeated in several collections and in Lyra Sac. Amer., 1868, from whence it passed, sometimes in an abbreviated form, into many English collections. [Rev. F. M.
