Heavenly Father, to whose eye
Future things unfolded lie!
Through the desert where I stray,
Let thy counsels guide my way.
Leave me not, in darkened hour,
To withstand temptation’s power;
Let thy rod and staff impart
Strength and courage to my heart.
Lord! uphold me day by day;
Shed a light upon my way:
Guide me through perplexing snares:
Care for me in all my cares.
Should thy wisdom, Lord, decree
Trials long and sharp for me,—
Pain or sorrow, loss or shame,—
Father! glorify thy name.
Let me never faint nor fear,
Feeling still that thou art near;
In the course my Saviour trod,
Tending still to thee, my God!
---Alternative verses---
Leave me not, for flesh is frail,
Where fierce trials would assail;
Leave me not in darkened hour,
To withstand temptation’s power;
8. [v]
Let me neither faint nor fear,
Feeling still that thou art near;
In the course my Saviour trod,
Tending home to thee, my God!
