[Verse]
  A             D    A        D             A
Lead me gently home, Father, lead me gently home.
E                     A           E       B7       E
When life's toils are ended, and parting days have come;
E7                      A    D                    A
Sin no more shall tempt me, Ne'er from Thee I'll roam.
                D                 E             A
If Thou'lt only lead me, Father, lead me gently home.

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

[Verse]
               D    A        D              A
Lead me gently home, Father, lead me gently home,
E                 A              E           B7       E
In life's darkest hours, Father, when life's troubles come.
E7                      A    D                A
Keep my feet from wandering, lest from Thee I roam,
              D                E             A
Lest I fall upon the wayside, lead me gently home.


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

[Verse]
               D      A      D              A
Lead me gently home, Father, lead me gently home.
E               A            E         B7     E
In temptations hour, Father, when sore trials come;
E7                   A    D               A
Be Thou near to keep me, take me as Thine own,
              D                  E             A
For I cannot live without Thee, lead me gently home.


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