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]
