1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; without thy guiding hand we go astray, and doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; lead us through Christ, the true and living Way.

2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; blindly we stumble when we walk alone, involved in shadows of a darksome night; only with thee we journey safely on.

3 Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest, however rough and steep the pathway be; through joy or sorrow, as thou deemest best, until our lives are perfected in thee.
