MHB 849 – FATHER, lead me day by day

Methodist-Hymns-849

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.

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.

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

4:  When my heart is full of glee,
Help me to remember thee,
Happy most of all to know
That my Father loves me so.

5:  When my work seems hard and dry,
May I press on cheerily;
Help me patiently to bear
Pain and hardship, toil and care.

6:  May I see the good and bright
When they pass before my sight;
May I hear the heavenly voice
When the pure and wise rejoice.
