Author: Birdie Bell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10937 First Line: Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way Refrain First Line: Heavenly Shepherd, lead us each day Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way; Fain would we wander, and oft would we stray; Keep us from danger, and save us from harm; Perils surround us; temptations alarm. Refrain: Heavenly Shepherd, lead us each day; Guide us in mercy each step of the way; Dangers are many, safe is Thy fold; Gather, O gather, Thy sheep from the cold. 2 Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way; Teach us Thy mandates, and help us obey; Sweet are Thine accents and loving Thy voice; Foll’wing Thy footsteps, Thy flock shall rejoice. [Refrain] 3 Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way; Guide by Thy counsels, lest foes should dismay; Green are Thy pastures, O there would we feed; Down by still waters Thy sheep gently lead. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way]
