1 Father, lead Thy little children
Very early to Thy throne;
We will have no gods before Thee;
Thou art God and Thou alone.
Refrain:
Lead, O lead Thy little children
Very early to Thy throne;
We will have no gods before Thee;
Thou art God and Thou alone.
2 In the Bible Thou hast taught us
All our thoughts to Thee are known;
Thou canst see us in the darkness,
Thou art God, and Thou alone. [Refrain]
3 Though the heathen bow to idols
They have made of wood and stone,
We have Christian friends to tell us
Thou art God, and Thou alone. [Refrain]
4 Thou dost give us all our comforts,
Ev'rything we call our own
Comes from Thee our Heavenly Father,
Thou art God, and Thou alone. [Refrain]
