Guide Me

Hide not Thy face

O Lord of Grace;

Thou who hast tast­ed woe;

Thro’ er­ror’s night lend Thou Thy light

To guide me as I go!

Guide me

guide me

in this world of woe;

Thro’ er­ror’s night lend Thou Thy light

To guide me as I go!

On Cal­v’ry’s tree a thief to Thee

Turned his re­pent­ant eyes

And for the gloom of death’s dark doom

Thou gav­est para­dise!

Guide me

guide me

guard me with Thine eyes

And for the gloom of death’s dark doom

Thou gav­est para­dise!

E’en so thro’ tears of bur­dened years

Earth’s child­ren cry to Thee

Whose blood was spilt that hu­man guilt

Be par­doned

full and free!

Guide me

guide me

hear my cry to Thee

Whose blood was spilt that hu­man guilt

Be par­doned

full and free!

Contrite they plead their ev­ery need

Thy grace will e’en ful­fill

To life’s last breath

thro’ gloom of death

Guide Thou the way­ward still!

Guide me

guide me

that I do Thy will

To life’s last breath

thro’ gloom of death

Guide Thou the way­ward still!
