Christ in Song ‎#70

70. Lead Them to Thee

1 Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee,
These children dear of mine,
Thou gavest me;
O, by Thy love divine,
Lead them, my God, to Thee;
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.

2 When earth looks bright and fair,
Festive and gay,
Let no delusive snare,
Lure them astray;
But from temptations' pow'r,
Lead them, my God, to Thee;
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.

3 E'en for such little ones,
Christ came a child,
And in this world of sin
Lived undefiled.
O, for His sake, I pray,
Lead them, my God, to Thee;
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.

4 Yea, tho' my faith be dim,
I would believe
That Thou this precious gift
Wilt now receive;
O, take their young hearts now,
Lead them, my God, to Thee;
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.
