GUIDE ME.

By Albert Carey

ALBERT CAREY.

(Honolulu, H. T.)

Kind Father, guide my steps to-day. Dark sin-clouds hover o'er the way, And I shall lose the narrow path, And wander in the ways of death, Unless thou guide. I cannot see; But thine all-seeing eye for me Discerns each step before I move, And seeing, from thy heart of love, Will guide me only in the right, While walking here through sin's dark night.

Guide me to-day. The snare that's set By Satan for my wayward feet, Help me to shun. The privilege That lies a pearl before my gaze, Of doing some kind act for thee, Help me to seize, and thus to be, In thy kind hand, an instrument For saving souls. The dart that's sent By Satan to destroy my soul, May faith repel it. The blest goal Of life eternal, let it shine, And if the fire that must refine And fit me for that glorious place Burns hot, keep sweetness in my face.

And may I glory but in thee; More like thee every moment be. Guide thou my weary feet to-day — Yea, always — in the narrow way.
