Author: Rev. M. L. Hofford Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #298 (1885) First Line: O precious Saviour, I would lay Refrain First Line: In every duty of the day Lyrics: 1 O precious Saviour, I would lay
My hand within Thine own today;
And feel this confidence in Thee:—
I’m safe where’er Thou leadest me.
Chorus:
In ev’ry duty of the day,
My hand within Thine own I’d lay,
And feel this confidence in Thee:—
I’m safe where’er Thou leadest me.
2 My path may be thro’ fields of green,
Or deserts where no life is seen;
Let joy or grief my portion be;—
I’m safe where’er Thou leadest me. [Chorus]
3 Afflictions may be sharp and strong;
Temptation’s power may try me long;
The reason though I fail to see,
I’m safe where’er Thou leadest me. [Chorus]
4 Then in the hour when death draws nigh,
And darkness veils the earth and sky;
‘Mid pierceless gloom I’ll trust in Thee,
I’m safe where’er Thou leadest me. [Chorus]
