Author: Rev. Jno. McPhail Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.2 #16 (1889) First Line: Lead the children, gently lead them Refrain First Line: Lead them in the golden pathway Lyrics: 1 Lead the children, gently lead them
In the way of God’s commands;
Point them to each sacred duty
And engage their little hands.
Refrain:
Lead them in the golden pathway,
Guide them on to endless day;
Pray that God may bless and keep the,
In the straight and narrow way.
2 Lead them to the feet of Jesus,
Leave them in his loving care;
He will surely bless and help them,
All their little crosses bear. [Refrain]
3 Lead the children, always lead them,
With their weakness do forbear,
Lead them all in kindness with you,
To the mercy seat of pray’r. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Lead the children, gently lead them]
