Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #179 (1957) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 First Line: Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
O'er the world's tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee;
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.
2 Savior, breathe forgiveness o'er us;
All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us;
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 14:26-33 Tune Title: CORINTH (DULCE CARMEN)
Lead Us, Heavenly Father
