Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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. [Verse 2] 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. [Verse 3] 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.
