Lead Me to Jesus (Crosby)

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1870
Composer: Howard Doane

Lead me to Je­sus

lead me to Je­sus;

Help me to love Him

help me to pray;

He is my Sav­ior

I would be­lieve Him;

I would be like Him— show me the way.

Quickly haste

and come where hap­py child­ren meet;

Hither come and rest thy lit­tle wea­ry feet;

Turn from thy plea­sures

turn from thy play;

Come to our Sun­day school away.

Lead me to Je­sus

He will pro­tect me;

He is so lov­ing

ge­ntle and mild;

Calling the child­ren

bidding them welcome;

Surely He calls me—I am a child.

Lord

I am com­ing! Jesus

my Sav­ior

Pity my weak­ness

make me Thy child;

I would re­ceive Thee

trust and be­lieve Thee;

I would be like Thee

gen­tle and mild.
