Gra¤cious Sav¤iour, lead me safe¤ly
Through life’s eve¤ry chang¤ing hour;
In the gloom of dark temp¤ta¤tion,
Let me feel Thy strength¤’ning power.
Lead me ¤forth to strong as¤sur¤ance
Through the ¤shades of doubt and fear;
On to hope in ¤Christ, my Lead¤er,
Light in ¤eve¤ry val¤ley drear.

Chorus:
Lead me gra¤cious Sav¤iour,
I Thy path a¤¤dore;
Lead me safe¤ly on¤ward
To a life for ev¤er¤more.

Round me surge earth’s trou¤bled wa¤ters–
Dark¤ness, an¤guish and dis¤may;
Lead me on¤ward through the twi¤light,
To the break of end¤less day.
High a¤¤bove the rag¤ing bil¤lows
Reign¤est ¤Thou who rules the sea;
Lead Thou gent¤ly, ¤Lord Al¤might¤y;
Peace bring ¤Thou e¤ter¤nal¤ly.

When through death’s dark val¤ley pass¤ing,
Be Thou with me, lead¤ing there;
Let Thy con¤so¤la¤tion com¤fort,
When I breathe my fi¤nal prayer.
Then when ¤life has dawned– im¤mor¤tal,
In Thy ¤tem¤ple with the blest;
Led to ev¤er ¤liv¤ing foun¤tains,
I’ll be ¤Thine for aye at rest.
