(I adjusted line 2 of verse 2)

Guide them, Father to thee, guide them to Thee
All these thy great children, that Thou giveth Lord,
By Thy heav'nly love, Guide them Father to Thee
Guide them, Father to thee, guide them to Thee

When this life is sweet, train them Thy way,
Let not deceitful treasure mislead them all,
Away from temptation, guide them Father to Thee
Guide them Father to Thee, guide them to Thee.

For them Jesus Christ came as a child of God
Lived in this sinful world without any sin,
Oh because of this love, guide them Father to Thee
Guide them Father to Thee, guide them to Thee.

My faith may be incomplete, Lord, yet I know,
That all Thou great friends, You will save them all
We trust in You Jesus, guide them Father to Thee,
Guide them Father to Thee, guide them to Thee.
