Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee,
These children dear of mine,
Thou gavest me.
O, by Thy love divine,
Lead them to Thee,
These children dear of mine,
Thou gavest me.
O, by Thy love divine,
[Refrain]
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them, lead them,
Lead them to Thee.
When earth looks bright and fair,
Festive and gay,
Let no delusive snare,
Lure them away;
But from temptation’s power,
[Refrain]
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them, lead them,
Lead them to Thee.
E’en for such little ones,
Christ came a child,
And through this world of sin,
Movèd undefiled;
O, for His sake, I pray,
[Refrain]
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them, lead them,
Lead them to Thee.
Yea, though my faith be dim,
I would believe
That Thou this precious gift,
Wilt now receive;
O, take their young hearts now;
[Refrain]
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them, lead them,
Lead them to Thee.
