Stanza 1
Father, lead me day by day,
Ever in Thine own sweet way;
Teach me to be pure and true;
Show me what I ought to do.
Stanza 2
When in danger, make me brave,
Make me know that Thou canst save;
Keep me safe by Thy dear side;
Let me in Thy love abide.
Stanza 3
When I’m tempted to do wrong,
Make me steadfast, wise and strong;
And when all alone I stand,
Shield me with Thy mighty hand.
Stanza 4
When my heart is full of glee,
Help me to remember Thee,
Happy most of all to know T
hat my Father loves me so.
Stanza 5
When my work seems hard and dry,
May I press on cheerily;
Help me patiently to bear
Pain and hardship, toil and care.
Stanza 6
May I see the good and bright
When they pass before my sight;
May I hear the heavenly voice
When the pure and wise rejoice. Amen.
