Take Thou My Hand

Verse 1

Take Thou my hand, and lead me— Choose Thou my way! “Not as I will,” O Father, Teach me to say. What tho’ the storms may gather, Thou knowest best; Safe in Thy holy keeping, There would I rest.

Verse 2

Take Thou my hand, and lead me— Lord, I am Thine! Fill with Thy Holy Spirit This heart of mine: Then in the hour of trial Strong shall I be— Ready to do, or suffer, Dear Lord, for Thee.

Verse 3

Take Thou my hand, and lead me, Lord, as I go; Into Thy perfect image Help me to grow. Still in Thine own pavilion Shelter Thou me: Keep me, O Father, keep me, Close, close to Thee!
