Father, Lead Me Home

The way is long and dark

my Fa­ther

And all around is filled with gloom;

Come near

and reach Thy hand

I pray Thee

And kind­ly

gent­ly lead me home.

Lead me home

O Fa­ther

Lead me home

O Fa­ther

Nevermore from Thee to roam;

Lead me home

lead me home

Jesus

Sav­ior

lead me home.

Thick

hea­vy clouds are ho­ver­ing o’er me

And help­less thro’ the gloom I roam;

O Fa­ther

let me feel Thy pre­sence

And kind­ly

gent­ly lead me home.

Far

far away from Thee I’ve wan­dered;

Back to Thy side in faith I come;

On bend­ed knee I’m hum­bly plead­ing

O Fa­ther

kind­ly lead me home.

Of self and sin

O Lord

I’m wea­ry;

Away from Thee no more I’ll roam;

In life

in death

O keep me near Thee;

O Fa­ther

gent­ly lead me home.
