A Prayer

Lord, lead me! we always seem to say,
Then when He says "this is the way."
We turn and say "oh, I can't."
Please! on thy path our feet firmly
plant.
bar
That we may climb the upward road,
And someday reach that home above,
That we may lay down our heavy load,
And hide ourselves in the Father's
love.
bar

Tho, we feel weak, may thy hand we
always hold,
To help some lonely sheep to find
thy fold,
And someday when we reach that
promised land,
We may see, some once remembered
friend.
bar
Then, I'm sure we will be so glad,
We did not give up along the way.
This dear friend might not have had,
Eternal life on that grand day.
