Lead me, Fa­ther, lead, I pray,
For the night is dark and wild,
And I can­not see my way;
Father, lead Thy trem­bling child.

Refrain

Lead me, Fa­ther, lead me, Fa­ther,
For the night is dark and wild;
Lead me, Fa­ther, lead, O lead me,
Lead Thy trem­bling child.

Lead me when the morn­ing dawns,
Lest in paths of sin I stray,
Lest earth’s plea­sures lure my soul,
Lead me in the nar­row way.

Refrain

Lead me in the noon­day clear,
When night’s sha­dows all are gone,
Lest I leave Thy ten­der care,
Lest I dare to walk alone.

Refrain

When the ev­en­ing draw­eth on,
And my cour­age ebbs away,
Lead me then till comes the dawn
Of the ev­er­last­ing day.

Refrain
