I loved the garish day; and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will; remember not past years. 3 So long Thy pow'r has blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O’er moor and fen o’er crag and torrent till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. 4 Meantime along the narrow rugged path, Thyself hast trod, Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith, Home to my God, To rest forever after earthly strife In the calm light of everlasting life.

All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in thee I find: raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Scripture: Exodus 33:22 Used With Tune: MARTYN
