Lead Them to Thee

Lead them

my God

to Thee

Lead them to Thee

These child­ren dear of mine

Thou gav­est me.

O

by Thy love di­vine

Lead them

my God

to Thee

Lead them

lead them

Lead them to Thee.

When earth looks bright and fair

Festive and gay

Let no de­lus­ive snare

Lure them away;

But from temp­ta­tion’s pow­er

E’en for such lit­tle ones

Christ came a child

And through this world of sin

Movèd un­de­filed;

O

for His sake

I pray

Yea

though my faith be dim

I would be­lieve

That Thou this pre­cious gift

Wilt now re­ceive;

O

take their young hearts now;
