LEAD ME.

Lead me, oh my blessed Redeemer!
Ere my feet shall walk astray;
Through this world of dire temptation,
Lead me on the heavenly way!
Lead me, though my steps should faulter,
As I journey through this land;
When I meet with worldy conflicts,
Grasp me tighter by the hand.
On the verge of earth's temptation,
When my strength is almost gone,
Haste before I fall, dear Savior,
Grasp my hand and lead me on!
In my earthly joys and sorrow,
Let me not forget the way!
For too soon may dawn the morrow,
Should my steps be lead astray.
