CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS Divine Guidance.

Lead Thou me on. My path is steep; Beset with foes I cannot see— Father Thy child in safety keep,
 * My strength is all from Thee.

When clouds and darkness around me close, And fierce temptations sorely press, Hold Thou my hand; repel my foes;
 * With calm endurance bless.

Forgive my timid, faithless fears; Let trusting love my portion be, Till safe from conflicts, doubts & tears,
 * I rest alone with thee.

E.H. Dewart. 33
