Lead me gently home, Father,

Lead me gently home, Father, Lead me gently home ! 'Mid life's darkest hours, Father, When sad trials come. Keep my heart from wandering, Lest my feet should roam ; Lest I fall upon the wayside, Lead me gently home ! . . . Lead me gently home, . Father Lead me gently, Lest I fall upon the wayside, Lead me gently home! 2 Lead me gently home, Father, Lead me gently home 1 None but Thou can'st guide me, I cannot walk alone ! 1 will gladly follow, Ever follow on : By Thy loving hand, O Father, Lead me gently home ! 3 Lead me gently home, Father, Lead me gently home ! When life's toils are ended, And parting days have come, There to rest for ever From all earthly gloom, Lead me, O my heavenly Father, Lead me gently home !
