Father, Lead Them Day By Day Lyrics

Father lead them day by day

Ever in thine own sweet way

Teach them to be pure and true

Show them what they ought to do

When in danger make them brave

Make them know that thou canst save

Keep them safe by thy dear side

Let them in thy love abide

When they´re tempted to do wrong

Make them steadfast wise and strong

And when all alone they stand

Shield them with thy mighty hand

When their work seems hard and dry

May they press on cheerily

Help them patiently to bear

Pain and hardship toil and care

May they do the good they know

Be thy loving child below

Then at last go home to thee

Evermore thy child to be

Father lead them day by day

Ever in thine own sweet way

Teach them to be pure and true

Show them what they ought to do

When their hearts are full of glee

Help them to remember thee

Happy most of all to know

That their father loves them so

Father I consecrate my kids to you

That they might be holy through and through

I plead that they will not go astray

But to walk your everlasting way

Father lead them day by day

Ever in thine own sweet way

Teach them to be pure and true

Show them what they ought to do
