Father, lead Thy little children
Very early to Thy throne;
We will have no gods before Thee;
Thou art God, and Thou alone.

Refrain

Lead, O lead Thy little children
Very early to Thy throne;
We will have no gods before Thee;
Thou art God, and Thou alone.

In the Bible Thou hast taught us
All our thoughts to Thee are known;
Thou canst see us in the darkness;
Thou art God, and Thou alone.

Refrain

Though the heathen bow to idols,
They have made of wood and stone,
We have Christian friends to tell us
Thou art God, and Thou alone.

Refrain

Thou dost give us all our comforts,
Everything we call our own
Comes from Thee, our heav’nly Father;
Thou art God, and Thou alone.
