Isaiah 40:11 Thursday

He tends his flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; He GENTLY leads those that have young. Isaiah 40:11

Lead Me Gently Home, Father
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
When life’s toils are ended,
And parting days have come,
Sin no more shall tempt me,
Ne’er from Thee I’ll roam,
If Thou’ll only lead me,
Father,Lead me gently home.

Refrain:
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.

Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
In life’s darkest hours, Father,
When life’s troubles come,
Keep my feet from wand’ring,
Lest from Thee I roam,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home

Refrain:

Lead me gently home,
Father,Lead me gently home,
In temptation's hour, Father,
When sore trials come;
Be Thou near to keep me,
Take me as Thine own,
For I cannot live without Thee,
Lead me gently home.

Refrain:

Will T. Thompson (w. 1879)
