215 8, 7, 8, 7, 4, 7. F. Filitz, 1804-76 Lead us, heavenly Fa-ther, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee; ま Yet pos-sessing every bless-ing, If our God our Father be. 2 Savior, breathe forgiveness o'er us, Lone and dreary, faint and weary, 3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy, Thus provided, pardoned, guided, J.
