Take Thou My Hand

Take Thou my hand

and lead me—choose Thou my way!

Not as I will

O Fa­ther

teach me to say.

What though the storms may ga­ther

Thou know­est best;

Safe in Thy ho­ly keep­ing

there would I rest.

Take Thou my hand

and lead me—Lord

I am Thine!

Fill with Thy Ho­ly Spir­it this heart of mine;

Then in the hour of tri­al

strong shall I be—

Ready to do or suf­fer

dear Lord

for Thee.

Take Thou my hand

and lead me—Lord

as I go;

Into Thy per­fect im­age help me to grow.

Still in Thine own pa­vil­ion shel­ter Thou me;

Keep me

O Fa­ther

keep me

close

close to Thee.
