1. 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. 2. 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. 3. When I'm tempted to do wrong, Make me steadfast, wise and strong; And when all alone I stand, Shield me with Thy mighty hand. 4. May I do the good I know, Be Thy loving child below, Then at last go home to Thee, Evermore Thy child to be.
