Lead Them, My God, to Thee

Lyrics by
Fanny Crosby (1883)
Music by
Josiah Vibbard (1883)
Tune
VIBBARD · 8.7.8.7.D
Scripture
Psalm 23:3
Verse 1
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee,
These children dear of mine,
Thou gavest me;
O, by Thy love divine,
Refrain
Lead them, my God, to Thee;
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee.
Verse 2
When earth looks bright and fair,
Festive and gay,
Let no delusive snare
Lure them astray;
But from temptation's power,
Verse 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,
Verse 4
Yea, though my faith be dim,
I would believe
That Thou this precious gift
Wilt now receive;
O, take their young hearts now,

Crosby's prayer entreats God to lead families toward eternal home and salvation.
