Father, lead me day by day,
Ever
in Thine own sweet way;
Teach
me to be pure and true;
Show
me what I ought to do.
2
When
in danger, make me brave,
Make
me know that Thou canst save;
Keep
me safe by Thy dear side;
Let
me in Thy love abide.
3
When
I’m tempted to do wrong,
Make
me steadfast, wise and strong;
And
when all alone I stand,
Shield
me with Thy mighty hand.
4
May
I do the good I know,
Be
Thy loving child below,
Then
at last go home to Thee,
Evermore
Thy child to be.
