O take my hand, dear Father,
and lead Thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with Thee.
Alone I cannot wander
one single day,
So do Thou guide my footsteps
on life’s rough way.
O cover with Thy mercy
my poor, weak heart,
Lest I in joy or sorrow
from Thee depart.
Permit Thy child to
linger here at Thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting
with faith complete.
Though oft Thy power
but faintly may stir my soul,
With Thee, my Light in darkness,
I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father,
and lead Thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with Thee.
