For they shall be consoled
And the meek shall come to rule the world

Lead me, Lord, lead me, Lord

To seek and to find the narrow way
Be my way, be my truth
Be my life, my Lord
And lead me, Lord, today

Blest are they who through their lifetimes sow the seeds of peace;
all will call them children of the Lord.

Lead me, Lord, lead me, Lord
By the light of truth
To seek and to find the narrow way
Be my way, be my truth

And lead me, Lord, today
