Father, lead me day by day

by John P. Hopps (1834–1912)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 482.

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

When tempted to do wrong, Make me steadfast, wise, and strong; And when all alone I stand, Shield me with Thy mighty hand.

Verse 4

May I do the good I know, Be Thy loving child below, Then at last go home to Thee, Evermore Thy child to be.
