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 devine
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
Oh 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
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
