Words: William Henry Burleigh, 1868.
Music: "Langran," James Langran, 1862 |
Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace:
Without Thy guiding hand we go astray,
And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase;
Lead us through Christ, the true and living way.
Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth:
Unhelped by Thee, in error's name we grope,
While passion stains, and folly dims our youth,
And age comes on, uncheered by faith or hope.
Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right:
Blindly we stumble when we walk alone,
Involved in shadows of a darksome night;
Only with Thee we journey safely on.
Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest,
However rough and steep the path may be,
Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best,
Until our lives are perfected in Thee.
