| Text: | Father, Lead Me Day by Day |
| Author: | John P. Hopps, 1834-1911 |
| Tune: | ORIENTIS PARTIBUS |
| Composer: | Pierre de Corbeil, d. 1222 |
1 Father, lead me day by day,
Ever in Thine own good way;
Teach me to be pure and true,
Show me what I ought to do.
2 When in danger, make me brave;
Make me know that Thou canst save;
Keep me safely by Thy side;
Let me in Thy love abide.
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.
4 May I do the good I know,
Serving gladly here below;
Then at last go home to Thee,
Evermore Thine own to be.
Amen.
