Are you far away from home this dark and lonely night?
Tell me what best would help to ease your mind
Someone to give direction for this unfamiliar road
Or one who says, "Follow me and I will lead you home"

How beautiful, how precious the savior of all
To love so completely the loneliest soul
How gently, how tenderly he says to one and all
"Child you can follow me and I will lead you home
Trust me and follow me and I will lead you home."

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with thee there
Take us to Heaven to live with thee there
