Thy Word, O Lord (Midlane)

Thy Word

O Lord

Thy pre­cious Word alone

Can lead me on;

By this

until the dark­some night be gone

Lead Thou me on!

Thy Word is light

Thy Word is life and pow­er;

By it

oh

guide me in each try­ing hour.

Whate’er my path

led by the Word

’tis good

Oh

lead me on!

Be my poor heart Thy bless­èd Word’s abode

Lead Thou me on!

Thy Ho­ly Spir­it gives the light to see

And leads me to Thy Word

close fol­low­ing Thee.

Led by aught else

I tread a de­vi­ous way

Oh

lead me on!

Speak

Lord

and help me ev­er to ob­ey

Lead Thou me on!

My ev­ery step shall then be well de­fined

And all I do ac­cord­ing to Thy mind.
