LEAD ME GENTLY HOME, FATHER
1. Lead me gently
home, Father,
Lead me gently
home.
When life's toils
are ended,
And parting days
have come,
Sin no more shall
tempt me,
Ne'er from Thee
I'll roam,
If Thou'lt only
lead me, Father,
Lead me gently
home.
Refrain
Lead me gently
home, Father,
Lead me gently
home, Father.
Lest I fall upon
the wayside,
Lead me gently
home.
2. Lead me gently
home, Father,
Lead me gently
home,
In life's darkest
hours, Father,
When life's
troubles come;
Keep my feet from
wandering,
Lest from Thee I
roam,
Lest I fall upon
the wayside,
Lead me gently
home.
3. Lead me gently
home, Father,
Lead me gently
home,
In temptation's
hour, Father,
When sore trials
come;
Be Thou near to
keep me,
Take me as Thine
own.
For I cannot live
without Thee,
Lead me gently
home.
