1291. Lead them, my God, to thee

1 Lead them, my God to thee,
Lead them to thee,
These children dear of mine,
Thou gavest me;
O, by thy love divine,
Lead them, my God, to thee;
Lead them, lead them, lead them to thee.

2 When earth looks bright and fair,
Festive and gay,
Let no delusive snare,
Lure them astray;
But from temptation's power,
Lead them, my God, to thee;
Lead them, lead them, lead them to thee.

3 E'en for such little ones,
Christ came a child,
And thro' this world of sin
Moved undefiled;
O, for his sake, I pray,
Lead them, my God, to thee;
Lead them, lead them, lead them to thee.

4 Yea, though my faith be dim,
I would believe,
That thou this precious gift
Wilt now receive;
O, take their young hearts now,
Lead them, my God, to thee;
Lead them, lead them, lead them to thee.
