[Verse] Lead me gently home, Father, lead me gently home.
When life's toils are ended, and parting days have come;
Sin no more shall tempt me, Ne'er from Thee I'll roam.
If Thou'lt only lead me, Father, lead me gently home.

[Chorus] Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lest I fall upon the wayside
Lead me gently home.

[Verse] Lead me gently home, Father, lead me gently home,
In life's darkest hours, Father, when life's troubles come.
Keep my feet from wandering, lest from Thee I roam,
Lest I fall upon the wayside, lead me gently home.

[Chorus] Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lest I fall upon the wayside
Lead me gently home.

[Verse] Lead me gently home, Father, lead me gently home.
In temptations hour, Father, when sore trials come;
Be Thou near to keep me, take me as Thine own,
For I cannot live without Thee, lead me gently home.

[Chorus] Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home, Father.
Lest I fall upon the wayside
Lead me gently home.
