Father, Lead Me Day by Day

1Father, lead me day by day,
Ever in Thine own sweet way;
Teach me to be pure and true;
Show me what I ought to do.

2When in danger, make me brave;
Make me know that Thou canst save;
Keep me safe by Thy dear side;
Let me in Thy love abide.

3When I'm tempted to do wrong,
Make me steadfast, wise, and strong;
And when all alone I stand,
Shield me with Thy mighty hand.

4When my work seems hard and dry,
May I press on cheerily;
Help me patiently to bear Pain and hardship, toil and care.

5May I do the good I know,
Be Thy loving child below,
Then at last go home to Thee,
Evermore Thy child to be.
