Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way;
Fain would we wander, and oft would we stray;
Keep us from danger, and save us from harm;
Perils surround us; temptations alarm.
Refrain
Heavenly Shepherd, lead us each day;
Guide us in mercy each step of the way;
Dangers are many, safe is Thy fold;
Gather, O gather, Thy sheep from the cold.
Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way;
Teach us Thy mandates, and help us obey;
Sweet are Thine accents and loving Thy voice;
Foll’wing Thy footsteps, Thy flock shall rejoice.
Refrain
Lead us, O Shepherd, each step of the way;
Guide by Thy counsels, lest foes should dismay;
Green are Thy pastures, O there would we feed;
Down by still waters Thy sheep gently lead.
Refrain
