Lead Me, Lord

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. · Aug 5, 1909

I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be A pleasant road; I do not ask that thou wouldst take from me Aught of its load;

I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet;

I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet;

For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead: Lead me aright,

Though strength should falter and will though heart should bleed, To thee, my Light.
