Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Father! whose hand hath led me so securely Lyrics: 1 Father! whose hand hath led me so securely,
Father, whose ear hath listened to my prayer,
Father, whose eye hath watched o'er me so surely,
Whose heart hath loved me with a love so rare;--
2 Vouchsafe, O heavenly Father, to instruct me
In the straight way wherein I ought to go,
To life eternal and to heaven conduct me,
Through health and sickness, and through weal and woe.
3 O my Redeemer! who hast my redemption
Purchased and paid for by thy precious blood;
Thereby procuring an entire exemption
From the dread wrath and punishment of God!
4 Thou who has saved my soul from condemnation,
Redeem it also from the power of sin,
Be thou the Captain still of my salvation,
Through whom alone I can the victory win.
5 O Holy Ghost! who from the Father flowest--
And from the Son, oh, teach me how to pray!
Thou, who the love and peace of God bestowest,
With faith and hope inspire and cheer my way;--
6 Direct, control, and sanctify each motion
Within my soul, and make thus to be
Prayerful, and still, and full of deep devotion,
A holy temple, worthy, Lord, of thee!
