Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea ; Guide us, guard us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee ; Yet possessing every blessing, If our God our Father be.
2. Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us, All our weakness Thou dost know ; Thou didst tread the earth before us, Thou didst feel its keenest woe ; Lone and dreary, faint and weary, Through the desert Thou didst go.
3. Spirit of our God descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy ; Love with every feeling blending, Pleasures that can never cloy : Thus provided, pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy.
