Author: H. Brueckner, 1866 - 1942; Julia Hausmann, 1825 - 1901 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #292 (1958) Lyrics: 1 O take my hand, dear Father,
And lead thou me,
Till at my journey's ending
I dwell with thee.
Alone I cannot wander
One single day,
So do thou guide my footsteps
On life’s rough way.
2 O cover with thy mercy
My poor, weak heart,
Lest I in joy or sorrow
From thee depart.
Permit thy child to linger
Here at thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting
With faith complete. A-men.
3 Though oft thy power but faintly
May stir my soul,
With thee, my light in darkness,
I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father,
And lead thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with thee.
Amen.
