Gentle Shepherd, gently lead us Guide us through this earthly maze When in devious paths we wander Lead us in thy peaceful ways When the dark clouds round us gather Shutting out the light of day Dearest Saviour, guide our footsteps Lead us gently in the way. Gentle Shepherd, lead us onward Thro' a world of toil and strife Cheer us with thy glorious presence On the battle-field of life Should some vision o'er our pathway Turn our erring feet astray Blessed Guardian, be thou near us Lead us gently in thy way Gentle Shepherd, lead us ever In the way that we should go Turn, O turn our wand'ring footsteps From the paths that lead to woe. And when earthly light is fading Into light of heav'nly ray Gentle Shepherd, lead us over To the land of endless day.
