Father, Lead Me Day by Day

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.

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.

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.

May I do the good I know,

Be Thy loving child below,

Then at last go home to Thee,

Evermore Thy child to be.
