Lead Thou me on, and then my feet, though weary,

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 406 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Lead Thou me on, and then my feet, though weary, Shall never falter in life's rugged way; And though my pathway lead through wilds most dreary, Guided by Thee my feet shall never stray.

Verse 2

Fill me with love, and then my life shall ever Show forth the light of Thy sweet love divine; And though this world my heart from Thee would sever, I still rejoice in knowing Thou art mine.

Verse 3

Give me Thy grace, the grace that more aboundeth When all the hosts of sin upon me roll; And though life's care my lonely way surroundeth, Still I can rest, if Thou my life control.

Verse 4

Give me Thy peace that passeth understanding, And wraps the soul in calm and sweet repose; And though the storms would keep my soul from landing, At length I'll anchor, safe from all my foes.

Verse 5

Lord, well I know, all these and more are given, With Christ in whom all heavenly riches dwell; In Him by faith I grasp the joys of heaven, And taste the bliss my tongue now fails to tell.
