Thy Word, O Lord, Thy precious Word alone,
Can lead me on;
By this until the darksome night be gone,
Lead Thou me on!
Thy Word is light, Thy Word is life and power,
By it, O guide me in each trying hour!

Whate’er my path, led by the Word ’tis good:
Oh, lead me on!
Be my poor heart Thy blessed Word’s abode-
Lead Thou me on!
Thy Holy Spirit gives the light to see,
And leads me by Thy Word, close following Thee.

Led by aught else, I tread a devious way,
Oh, lead me on,
Speak, Lord and help me ever to obey,
Lead Thou me on!
My every step shall then be well defined,
And all I do according to Thy mind.
