Ps 25:4-5
TAKE MY HAND AND LEAD ME-James W. Gaines
Take My Hand and Lead Me
(or I Want to Live, Dear Lord, for Thee)
}
I want to live, dear Lord, for Thee,
Oh! keep me ev'ry day;
A faithful witness let me be,
Along life's rugged way.
When Satan would my hopes alarm,
Oh! shelter Thou, my soul;
Protect me with Thy mighty arm,
Thy strength will keep me whole.
Let me each day, Thy spirit feel;
Increase my courage, Lord,
To walk by faith, endowed with zeal,
Directed by Thy word.
Chorus Take my hand and lead me,
Anywhere you need me;
With Thy spirit feed me,
Till I'm safe at home.
