Lead me, bless­èd Je­sus,
By Thy guid­ing hand;
Should temp­ta­tions cross my path,
Help me to with­stand.
Make Thy grace suf­fi­cient
Always sin to shun;
Closely walk­ing with Thee,
Till my course is run.

Take me, gra­cious Mas­ter,
By Thy gen­tle hand,
May I seek to know Thy will,
Yield to Thy com­mand.
O di­rect my path­way,
And should thorns in­fest,
Order all my foot­steps,
Show me what is best.

Guide me, lov­ing Sav­ior,
All my pil­grim way,
Keep my heart so near to Thine
That I shall not stray.
Should the skies be low­er­ing,
And dis­tress al­lowed,
Let some sil­ver lin­ing
Tinge the gloomy cloud.

Come, Thou dear Re­deem­er,
Claim me as Thine own;
So con­trol my dai­ly life,
Make my heart Thy throne.
Cleanse me by Thy pow­er,
That from sin set free,
I shall use my ta­lents—
Give my strength to Thee.
