201. "Father, Lead Us"

1 O Father lead us
Gently by the hand,
Through sun and shadow
Of the future land!
Dim and untravel'd
Lies the way before:
O Father, lead us,
Lead us evermore!

Chorus:
Fears oft affright us!
Doubtings walk before!
O heav'nly Father lead us,
Now and evermore.

2 When we would falter
Or when we would stray,
O Father, lead us
All along our way!
Help us to ever
Closer walk to Thee,
Thro' ways of darkness
Where we cannot see! [Chorus]
