The path that leads me to the throne
Beneath His chast­en­ing rod;
All the way His love hath sought thee
In the road that leads me home;
Here our bur­dens oft are hea­vy,
The Shep­herd of Love is seek­ing the lost
Lead us, O Fa­ther, to Thy heav­en­ly rest,
Has wandered away from Me;
O bro­ther, strive!
I know dark clouds will ga­ther round me;
Has wan­dered away from Me;
Trials fall across the way,
Trials fall across the way,
As with fee­ble steps they press
For He will go with us each step of the way.
Is the path marked out for me;

rough and steep

I do not tra­vel there alone,
Our path­way worn and wea­ry,
Let His love to­day o’er­take thee;
Savior, guide my wan­der­ing feet.
But our bless­èd Lord will guide us,
He’s call­ing the lambs that have gone as­tray,
Through joy or sor­row, as Thou deem­est best,
I go to the desert to find My sheep.”
Thy Fa­ther’s hand shall guide thee thro’ the night;
But gold­en fields lie out be­fore me
I go to the de­sert to find My sheep,
See His foot­prints all the way.
See His foot­prints all the way.
Through the weary wil­der­ness.
He who is with us our foot­steps will keep.
Will lead me near­er to Thee!
