Thy word, O Lord, thy precious word alone

1.

Thy word, O Lord, thy precious word alone

Can lead me on

By this, until the darksome night be gone

Lead thou me on

Thy word is light, thy word is life and power

By it, O guide me in each trying hour

2.

This all I have; around no light appear

O lead me on

With eyes on Thee, though gazing through my tears

Lead thou me on

The good and best might lead me far astray

Omniscient Saviour, lead Thou me, I pray

3.

Whate’er my path, led by Thy word, ’tis good

O lead me on

Be my poor heart Thy blessed word’s abode

Lead Thou me on

Thy Holy Spirit gives the light to see

And leads me, by Thy word, close following

Thee

4.

Led by aught else, I tread a devious way

O lead me on

Speak, Lord and help me ever to obey

Lead Thou me on

My every step shall then be well defined

And all I do according to Thy mind
