Deliver Us from the Evil One - Singing Our Prayers

A beautiful and true prayer for guidance amid helplessness:

***

Lead Me, Guide Me (Psalter Hymnal 544)

Refrain:

Lead me, guide me, along the way,

for if you lead me, I cannot stray.

Lord, let me walk each day with you,

lead me my whole life through.

I am weak and I need your strength and power

to endure with grace my weakest hour.

Help me through the darkness your face to see.

Lead me, O Lord, lead me. Refrain

Help me walk in the paths of righteousness;

be my aid when Satan and sin oppress.

I am trusting you whate'er may be.

Lead me, O Lord, lead me. Refrain

I am lost if you take your hand from me,

I am blind without your light to see.

Lord, forever may I your servant be.

Lead me, O Lord, lead me. Refrain
