My Father Leads Me

lyricist: Lillian Pence, 1911
Composer: Charles Gabriel

My Fa­ther leads me

and con­tent

I trust in Him to choose my way;

I know that walk­ing by His side

My feet may nev­er go as­tray;

I know my Fa­ther lead­eth me

He lead­eth me

He lead­eth me.

He lead­eth me

I know my Fa­ther lead­eth me.

My Fa­ther leads

and oft­en­times

Thro’ thorny paths

my weary feet;

But by His side I need not fear

Tho’ blind­ing storms around me beat;

For as my days my strength shall be—

I know my Fa­ther lead­eth me.

And when I reach the riv­er wide

Whose stor­my wa­ters dark­ly flow

He’ll hold my hand and guide me safe

Into the hav­en I would go;

And there my song shall ev­er be

I know my Fa­ther lead­eth me.
