LSB #721 "Lead Me, Guide Me"

Biblical citations in the hymnal:  Psalm 5:8, 25:5

Psalm 5:8:  "Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me."

Psalm 25:5:  "Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long."

The "lead me"s in both cited verses occur throughout the hymn, particularly in the refrain.  Psalm 5:8 also appears at the beginning of the second verse ("Help me tread in the paths of righteousness").
