Lead
us, heavenly Father, lead us
O’er
the world’s tempestuous sea;
Guard
us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For
we have no help but thee;
Yet
possessing every blessing
If
our God our Father be.
Saviour,
breathe forgiveness o’er us;
All
our weakness thou dost know;
Thou
didst tread this earth before us,
Thou
didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone
and dreary, faint and weary,
Through
the desert thou didst go.
Spirit
of our God, descending,
Fill
our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love
with every passion blending,
Pleasure
that can never cloy;
Thus
provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing
can our peace destroy.
