Author: Thos. Hastings Hymnal: Songs for Work and Worship #111 (1900) First Line: Gently Lord, oh, gently lead us Refrain First Line: Gently lead, oh, gently lead us Lyrics: 1 Gently Lord, oh, gently lead us,
Thro’ this lonely vale of tears,
Thro’ the changes thou’st decreed us,
Till our last great change appears.
Refrain:
Gently lead, oh, gently lead us;
Gently Lord, oh, gently lead us
Thro’ this lonely vale of tears.
2 When temptation’s darts assail us,
When in devious paths we stray,
Let thy goodness never fail us,
lead us in thy perfect way. [Refrain]
3 In the hour of pain and anguish,
In the hour when death draws near,
Suffer not our hearts to languish,
Suffer not our souls to fear. [Refrain]
4 And when mortal life is ended,
Bid us in thine arms to rest,
Till by heav’nly hosts attended,
We awake among the blest. [Refrain]
