Lead Me, Blessèd Jesus

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.
