Lyrics

Verse 1

Savior, lead me lest I stray,

gently lead me all the way;

I am safe when by Thy side,

I would in Thy love abide.

Verse 2

Thou the refuge of my soul,

when life's stormy billows roll;

I am safe when Thou art nigh,

all my hopes on Thee rely.

Verse 3

Savior, lead me, then at last,

when the storm of life is past;

to the land of endless day,

where all tears are wiped away.

Chorus

Lead me, Lead me, Savior,

lead me lest I stray;

gently down the stream time,

lead me, Savior, all the way.
