12477. Lead Thou Me

1 Tho’ the way be sometimes dreary,
Father, lead Thou me!
Tho’ the heart be sometimes weary,
Father, lead Thou me!
Tho’ a host encamp before me,
Fearless will I be!
With Thy banner floating o’er me,
Father, lead Thou me!

2 Thro’ the valley dark and lonely,
Father, lead Thou me!
Give me then Thy presence only,
Father, lead Thou me!
When I hear the billow roaring,
Bid the shadows flee;
Then my fainting soul restoring,
Father, lead Thou me!

3 Sins oppose and fears alarm me:
Father, lead Thou me!
Led by Thee there’s naught can harm me:
Father, lead Thou me!
By Thy mighty power surrounded,
Trusting all to Thee,
Let me never be confounded:
Father, lead Thou me!
