Gently, O My Savior, Lead Me

1 Gently, O my Savior, lead me
Day by day, day by day;
Fro I need Thee, O I need Thee
All along my pilgrim way.
Never let my footsteps wander
till I reach my home up yonder;
Guide me, O my Savior, guide me,
Guard me lest I stray.
Gently, O my Savior, lead me
Day by day, day by day;
For I need Thee, O I need Thee
All along my pilgrim way.

2 Take my heart and sanctify it
All to Thee, all to Thee;
Let no evil thought come nigh it,
To offend Thy love for me.
Keep it sacred as Thine altar;
And, whene'er I chance to falter,
I shall be content, if with me,
Lord, Thou wilt abide.
Gently, O my Savior, lead me
Day by day, day by day;
For I need Thee, O I need Thee
All along my pilgrim way.

3 I would live and serve Thee only,
Be my Guide, be my Guide;
Never shall the way be lonely,
If Thou linger by my side.
When the days are dark and dreary,
When my feet are worn and weary,
I shall be content, if with me,
Lord, Thou wilt abide.
Gently, O my Savior, lead me
Day by day, day by day;
For I need Thee, O I need Thee
All along my pilgrim way.
