Lead Me (Emanuel)

Guide my foot­steps

Fa­ther

Lead me lest I stray;

Let Thy hand un­er­ring

Point out all my way.

When the road is drea­ry

And my soul is sad

When my heart is wea­ry

Do Thou make me glad.

Be my rock and fort­ress

Be my strength and stay;

Like a ten­der shep­herd lead me

Lead me safe­ly all the way.

As I jour­ney on­ward

To the home ab­ove;

All my path­way shel­ter

With Thy wings of love.

’Neath them my pa­vil­ion

Naught can me alarm.

Shining sun

or sha­dow

Neither work­eth harm.

Guide my foot­steps

Fa­ther

Night draws on apace;

Working hours of bright­ness

To the dark give place.

Guide my foot­steps

Fa­ther

What have I to fear?

Thou my joy­ful por­tion

Thou my guide sin­cere!
