Each Step of the Way

lyricist: Birdie Bell, 1902
Composer: Andrew Robertson

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.

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.

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.

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.
