Author: Bowring Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #502 (1866) First Line: Lead us with Thy gentle sway Lyrics:
Lead us with Thy gentle sway,
As a willing child is led;
Speed us on our upward way,
As a pilgrim, Lord, is sped,
Who with prayers and helps divine
Seeks a consecrated shrine.
Lead us, Father! Thou dost know
All the way; but, wanderers, we
Often miss our way below,
And stretch out our hands to Thee;
Guide us, save us, and prepare
Our appointed mansion there!
