When the way seems dark and long

As I pass amid the throng

Hold to my hand dear Lord I pray

Give me grace to shout and shine

Ever in the life divine

Lord lead me on from day to day

Oh lead me on from day to day

I want to walk the holy way

Though friends forsake me all along

I asked the Lord to lead me on

In this world of doubt and gloom

When all flowers start to bloom

Hold to my hand dear Lord I pray

I have put my faith in thee

'Til the homely hour shall be

Lord lead me on from day to day

When old age is feeling on

And my strength is almost gone

Hold to my hand dear I pray

Surely thou will n'er forsake

And in heaven I'll awake

Lord lead me on from day to day
