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.

Lead me gently home, Father.
Lead me gently home, Father
‘Lest I fall along 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 wandering,
‘lest from Thee I’ll roam
‘Lest I’ll fall upon the wayside,
lead me gently home.

Lead me gently home, Father. 
Lead me gently home, Father.
‘Lest I fall upon the wayside,
lead me gently, gently home.

Amen
