Lead Me

Thomas Hastings (1858) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 31:3

Verse 1

Jesus, merciful and mild, Lead me as a helpless child; On no other arm but Thine Would my weary soul recline. Thou art ready to forgive, Thou canst bid the sinner live; Guide the wanderer, day by day, In the strait and narrow way.

Verse 2

Thou canst fit me by Thy grace For the heavenly dwelling-place; All Thy promises are sure, Ever shall Thy love endure; Then what more could I desire, How to greater bliss aspire? All I need, in Thee I see; Thou art All in all to me.

Verse 3

Jesus, Saviour all Divine, Thou hast made me truly Thine; Thou hast bought me by Thy blood; Reconciled my heart to God. Hearken to my tender prayer, Let me Thine own image bear, Let me love Thee more and more Till I reach heaven's blissful shore.
