Author: William Bryant Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12136 Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Standing forth on life’s rough way, Father, guide them Lyrics: 1 Standing forth on life’s rough way, Father, guide them;
Oh! we know not what of harm may betide them;
’Neath the shadow of Thy wing, Father, hide them;
Waking, sleeping, Lord, we pray,go beside them.
2 When in prayer they cry to Thee, Thou wilt hear them;
From the stains of sin and shame, Thou wilt clear them;
’Mid the quicksands and the rocks, Thou wilt steer them;
In temptation, trial, grief, be Thou near them.
3 Unto Thee we give them up, Lord, receive them;
In the world we know must be much to grieve them—
Many striving oft and strong to deceive them;
Trustful, in Thy hands of love we must leave them. Languages: English Tune Title: PESCADORES
