Representative Text

1 Savior, lead me, gently lead me,
Thro’ this world of sin and strife;
Give me grace each day to follow
In the onward march of life.

Chorus:
Lead me, O my Savior, lead me,
For I dare not walk alone;
Thou alone dost know the pathway
To Thy everlasting throne.

2 Savior, lead me when in sorrow,
When my heart is sore oppressed;
Let me then, O gentle Shepherd,
Lean upon Thy loving breast. [Chorus]

3 Savior, lead me when the shadows
Gather round my dying bed;
May I then upon Thy promise,
Rest my weary, aching head. [Chorus]

4 Savior, lead me thro’ the portals,
To that city bright and fair,
Where the saints and all the loved ones
Wait my coming over there. [Chorus]

Tune

AUTUMN (Barthélemon)

This tune is adapted from Barthélemon's piece Durandarte and Belerma: A Pathetic Scotch Ballad (1797). Some editors describe AUTUMN as "adapted from Psalm xlii in the Genevan Psalter, 1551", referring to the similarity between this tune and FREU DICH SEHR.
