When the way seems dark and long

Hold to my hand dear lord I pray

Give me grace to shout and shine

Ever in the life divine

Lord lead me on from day to day

Oh lead me on from day to day

I want to walk the holy way

Oh friends forsake me all along

I asked the lord to lead me on

In this world of doubt and gloom

When all flowers start to bloom

Hold to my hand dear lord I pray

I have put my faith in thee

'Til the homely hour shall be

Lord lead me on from day to day

Lord lead me on from day to day

I want to walk the holy way

Oh friends forsake me all along

I asked the lord to lead me on

When old age is feeling on

And my strength is almost gone

Hold to my hand dear I pray

Surely thou will n'er forsake

And in heaven I'll awake

Lord lead me on from day to day

Oh lead me on from day to day

I want to walk the holy way

Oh friends forsake me all along

I asked the lord to lead me on
