Take My Hand and Lead Me by James W. Gaines Ps 25:4-5 TAKE MY HAND AND LEAD ME—James W. Gaines Take My Hand and Lead Me (or I Want to Live, Dear Lord, for Thee) 1 I want to live, dear Lord, for Thee, Oh! keep me ev’ry day; A faithful witness let me be, Along life’s rugged way. 2 When Satan would my hopes alarm, Oh! shelter Thou, my soul; Protect me with Thy mighty arm, Thy strength will keep me whole. 3 Let me each day, Thy spirit feel; Increase my courage, Lord, To walk by faith, endowed
