Lead Thou Me (Crosby)

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1881
Composer: James Smith

Savior

let me still abide

In the sha­dow of Thy wings;

Let me all my sor­row hide

In the joy Thy mer­cy brings;

Draw me

keep me day by day

Nearer

near­er

Lord to Thee;

All along my pil­grim way

O my Sav­ior

lead Thou me.

To the cross my soul was brought

To the cross

with all its grief;

There a heal­ing balm I sought

There I found a sweet re­lief;

Yet for deep­er love I pray

Love that clings alone to Thee;

All along my pil­grim way

O my Sav­ior

lead Thou me.

Let me trust Thee more and more

Let my will and Thine be one

Till my war­fare here is o’er

Till the vic­to­ry I have won;

In the light whose bless­èd ray

Shining down

by faith I see

All along my pil­grim way

O my Sav­ior

lead Thou me.
