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, my God, to Thee;
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.

2
When earth looks bright and fair,
Festive and gay,
Let no delusive snare
Lure them astray;
But from temptation's power,
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.

3
E'en for such little ones,
Christ came a child,
And in this world of sin
Lived undefiled.
O, for His sake, I pray,
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.

4
Yea, though my faith be dim,
I would believe
That Thou this precious gift
Wilt now receive;
O take their young hearts now,
Lead them my God to Thee,
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.
