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, oh, 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 blessèd
Word’s abode,
Lead Thou me on!
Thy Holy Spirit gives the
light to see,
And leads me to 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.
