Hymn #408

Lord, Thy Children Guide

Lyrics

Verse 1

Lord, Thy children guide and keep,
As with feeble steps they press,
On the pathway rough and steep,
Through this weary wilderness:
Holy Jesus, day by day
Lead us in the narrow way.

Verse 2

There are sandy wastes that lie
Cold and sunless, vast and drear,
Where the feeble faint and die;
Grant us grace to persevere.
Holy Jesus, day by day
Lead us in the narrow way.

Verse 3

There are soft and flowery glades
Decked with golden fruited trees,
Sunny slopes and scented shades;
Keep us, Lord, from slothful ease;
Holy Jesus, day by day
Lead us in the narrow way.

Verse 4

Upward still to purer heights,
Onward yet to scenes more blest,
Calmer regions, clearer lights,
Till we reach the promised rest;
Holy Jesus, day by day
Lead us in the narrow way.
