When my hands are tired and my step is slow Walk beside me and give me the strength to go Fill my face with your courage so defeat won’t show Pick me up when I stumble so the world won’t know Lead me Father with the staff of life   Give me the strength for a song That the words I sing might more strength bring To help some poor troubled weary worker along When my way is light but I still can?t see With a strong hand strike out the blindness in me Show me work that I should carry on for Thee Make my way straight and narrow like you want it to be Lead me Father with the staff of life Give me the strength for a song That the words I sing might more strength bring To help some poor troubled weary worker along
