2. Lead Thou me, for I abide Thee;
Come and guide me
To the rock for me too high;
Thou my refuge, great in power,
Art my tower
When the enemy is nigh.

3. Keep me in Thy tent forever!
Leave me never!
Of Thy faithfulness I sing.
Oh, to be where Thou me shieldest,
Where Thou yieldest
Me the shelter of Thy wings!

4. Thou hast heard all that I vowed Thee
And endowed me
With the heritage of those
Who revere Thy Name and glory
And before Thee
In Thy steadfast love repose.

5. May the king’s life, by Thee strengthened,
LORD, be lengthened;
Of his reign no end be known.
Bless, O God, all his endeavour;
May he ever
Sit before Thee on his throne.

6. Be, O God of truth and splendour,
His Defender;
Make Thy steadfast love his stay!
So will I, Thy Name professing,
For Thy blessing
Pay my vows day after day.
