1 Father, lead me day by day,
Ever in Thy loving way.
May my life be pure and true,
Show me what I ought to do.
2 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.
3 As I travel on life's sea,
Help me to remember Thee,
Happy most of all to know
That my Father loves me so.
4 May I do the good I know,
Be Thy loving child below,
Then at last go home to Thee,
Evermore Thy child to be.
