1 Saviour, lead us gently, kindly,
In the upward winding way,
Lest we wander darkly, blindly,
Lest our feet should go astray,
Loving Saviour, Loving Saviour,
Hear thy children as they pray.
Loving Saviour, Loving Saviour,
Hear thy children as they pray.

2 We are young, and much temptation
May ensnare our childish feet;
But in thee, our soul's salvation,
Is a refuge sure and sweet,
Loving Saviour,
From the foes that we must meet.
Loving Saviour, Loving Saviour,
Hear thy children as they pray.

3 Thou did not forget the children,
When on earth so sorely tried,
Nor in Heaven wilt thou forsake us:
Be thou still our guard and guide.
Loving Saviour,
We would in thy grace abide.
Loving Saviour, Loving Saviour,
Hear thy children as they pray.

4 In thy promise to receive us,
We would humbly come to thee,
And we know thou wilt relieve us,
Thou from sin canst set us free.
Loving Saviour,
May we all thy glory see.
Loving Saviour, Loving Saviour,
Hear thy children as they pray.

5 We to thee our hearts have given,
And we seek to do thy will;
Lead our footsteps up to Heaven,
Let us rest on Zion's hill.
Loving Saviour,
We will trust thy mercy still.
Loving Saviour, Loving Saviour,
Hear thy children as they pray.
