- 1Lead 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.
- 2Savior, 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.
- 3Spirit of our God, descending,
- Fill our hearts with heavenly joy;
- Love all other love transcending,
- Pleasure that can never cloy:
- Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
- Nothing can our peace destroy.
