C. M.
Lead us not into temptation.
Matt. 6:13.
While in the slippery paths of youth,
I run secure and free!
O let thy blesséd word of truth,
My guide and counsel be.
2 If near the tempter’s wily snare
In heedlessness I tread;
O be thy kind protecting care,
To save me overspread.
3 Thus o’er my life let mercy move,
And guide my feet the way
That leads me to thy throne above—
To everlasting day.
A. S. Hayden.
