Representative Text

1 O Father, when my troubled soul,
Is toss’d on stormy sea,
When billows roar, and torrents pour,
Come, Lord, and lead thou me.

Refrain:
Lead me when the billows roar,
Lead me when the torrents pour,
Lead me on the stormy sea,
Blessed Saviour, lead thou me.

2 And when the night is drear and dark,
So that I cannot see,
No gleam of star, no moon afar,
Come, Lord, and lead thou me. [Refrain]

3 When in the cheerless wilderness,
I far astray may be,
The path unknown, myself alone.
Come, Lord, and lead thou me. [Refrain]

4 O Father, lead me all my way,
And make my footsteps free,
The way to go I never know,
Come, Lord, and lead thou me. [Refrain]
