Lead Thou Me (Kimbrough)

lyricist: J. S. Kimbrough, 1904
Composer: Frank Smith

Along life’s path­way lead Thou me

My stay and com­fort ev­er be

While on my wea­ry pil­grim way

Dear Sav­ior

lead me day by day.

O lead me when the way is dark

And tem­pest tossed is my frail bark;

And when I cross cold Jor­dan’s stream

Upon Thine arms O let me lean.

When waves of sor­row o’er me roll

And doubts and fears op­press my soul

O let me still Thy foot­steps see

And hear Thy voice still call­ing me.

When from Thee

Lord

my feet would stray

And wan­der from Thy fold away

O draw me by Thy love and grace

To seek again my Sav­ior’s face.

And when life’s con­flict shall be o’er

Its griefs and cares op­press no more

Across death’s dark and stor­my sea

O bless­èd Sav­ior

lead Thou me.
