Hymns of Grace and Truth

Thy Word, O Lord, Thy precious Word alone (142)

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.

Hymns for the Little Flock

Lead, Light Divine, Amid Th’ Encircling Gloom– ( A29 )

Lead, light divine, amid th’ encircling gloom–
Lead Thou me on;
The night is dark and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on.
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant path; one step’s enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and seek my path; but now,
Lead Thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.

Thus far Thy power hath blessed me, and it still
Will lead me on,
O’er moor and fen, through tangled brakes, on till
The night is gone;
And with the morn the everlasting joy,
Which led me on, is mine without alloy.
