Music: Lyne, Magdalen Chapel Hymns, circa 1760. Alternate tunes:
Father, lead me day by day,
Ever in Thine own sweet way;
Teach me to be pure and true;
Show me what I ought to do.
When in danger, make me brave,
Make me know that Thou canst save;
Keep me safe by Thy dear side;
Let me in Thy love abide.
When I’m tempted to do wrong,
Make me steadfast, wise and strong;
And when all alone I stand,
Shield me with Thy mighty hand.
When my heart is full of glee,
Help me to remember Thee,
Happy most of all to know
That my Father loves me so.
