Lead Us Gently

lyricist: Georgiana Taylor, 1886
Composer: Milo Nethercutt, 1892

Blessèd Sav­ior

lead us gent­ly

Thro’ the rug­ged paths of life;

Lead us thro’ the vale of sha­dows

From this world of sin and strife.

Lead us

Je­sus

thro’ the sha­dows

To that bright eter­nal life;

Lead us thro’ the vale of sha­dows

From this world of sin and strife.

Blessèd Sav­ior

meek and low­ly

Thou art ev­er good and true;

Lead us to that world of glo­ry

To that home be­yond the blue.

Lead us

Je­sus

thro’ the sha­dows

To that home for­ev­er new;

Lead us to that world of glo­ry

To that home be­yond the blue.

Blessèd Sav­ior

thou art will­ing

To for­give us all our wrong;

Lead us to that bless­èd king­dom

To that home where an­gels throng.

Lead us

Je­sus

thro’ the sha­dows

Lead us

Lord

’twill not be long;

Lead us to that bless­èd king­dom

To that home where an­gels throng.

Lead us gent­ly thro’ the sha­dows

Thro’ this world of toil and strife;

Lead us to that world of sun­shine

And an ev­er­last­ing life.

Lead us

Je­sus

thro’ the sha­dows

To that bright eter­nal life;

Lead us to that world of sun­shine

And an ever­last­ing life.
