I. LEAD us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; 2. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth; 3. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a moral night; Only with thee we journey safely on. 4. Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest, Until our lives are perfected in thee. WILLIAM HENRY BURLEIGH, 1812-1871. |
