Tekst

Lead me gently Home
1 Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home!
’Mid life’s darkest hours, Father,
When sad trials come.
Keep my heart from wand’ring,
Lest my feet should roam;
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead my gently home!

chorus:
Lead me gently home, Father!
Lead me gently home,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home!

2 Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home!
None but Thou canst guide me,
I cannot walk alone!
I will gladly follow,
Ever follow on;
By Thy loving hand, O Father,
Lead me gently home!

chorus

3 Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home!
When life’s toils hare ended,
And parting days have come,
There to rest for ever
From all earthly gloom.
Lead me, o my heav’nly Father,
Lead me gently home!

chorus
