Lead Me Safely On

J. H. Leslie • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 27:11

Verse 1

Lead me safely on by the narrow way, From the shores of time to the realms of day; By the cross of Christ may I ever stand, As I journey on to the better land.

Chorus

Lead me on, lead me on, By the straight and narrow way, Lead me on, lead me on, To the realms of endless day.

Verse 2

With a shepherd’s care thro’ the night and day, Keep me close to Thee lest I go astray; Lead me safely on by Thy tender love, Thro’ this world of sin to my home above.

Chorus

Lead me on, lead me on, By the straight and narrow way, Lead me on, lead me on, To the realms of endless day.

Verse 3

Thro’ the storms of life, ’mid the ocean’s foam, Lead me safely on to my heav’nly home; At the fount of life on the other shore, Let me freely drink till I thirst no more.

Chorus

Lead me on, lead me on, By the straight and narrow way, Lead me on, lead me on, To the realms of endless day.
