Lead me safely home, father
-
Has anybody ever heard of this song, or something that probably resembles it? It's a funeral request and I'm banging my head against a wall.....

"Lead me gently home, Father"
It's a protestant revival-style hymn, early 20th century. I know of it because I have a recording of my grandfather singing bass in a TTB setting of it. -
