Lead Me to Jesus (O’Kane)

lyricist: Edmund Lorenz, 1878
Composer: Tullius O’Kane

Lead me to Je­sus

my soul is so wea­ry

Weary of bear­ing the yoke of sin;

Dark clouds ab­ove me

my path­way is drea­ry

Joy nev­er dwells my sad heart with­in.

Lead me to Je­sus

lead me to­day;

Lead me to Je­sus

lead me

I pray;

Tenderly

care­ful­ly

lov­ing­ly

pray­er­ful­ly

Lead me to Je­sus.

Mountains im­pass­able

sins rise around me

Hiding the light of the Fa­ther’s face;

Sitting in dark­ness

sin fet­ters have bound me

Vainly I strug­gle with­out His grace.

Lead me to Je­sus

my soul now re­turn­ing

Seeks in His bo­som its rest­ing place;

Lead me to Je­sus

my heart now is burn­ing

Longing for mer­cy

and love

and grace.
