Father, lead me day by day
Ever in Thine own sweet way
Teach me to be pure and true
Show me what I ought to do

When in danger, make me brave
Make me know that Thou canst save
Keep me safe by Thy dear side
Let me in Thy love abide

When tempted to do wrong
Make me steadfast, wise, and strong
And when all alone I stand
Shield me with Thy mighty hand

May I do the good I know
Be Thy loving child below
Then at last go home to Thee
Evemore Thy child to be
