I need the complete lyrics for this song, here is what I was able to
make out from a cassette, but I need the complete lyrics please. I am
not sure who sings this song, my recording comes from a choir who sang
it a few years ago and we have been unable to get the lyrics or more
info from them.

Lyrics I have:

Dear Spirit lead me to the Saviors side
where my poor soul I may in safety hide
?? divide now? hanging over me
And shall until thy faithful lord I see ??

Dear spirit lead me to his side
where my poor soul i may in safety hide
i place my hand in thine oh take this soul of mine
lead on till i behold my lord crucified

for thy sure guidence I?? not always sought,
pride sparked me on to think as others thought
that i alone could surely find a way
from ages thine to realms of endless day

I know thou wilt, unworthy tho i be

safe lead me on my risen lord to see

my loved ones too long have gone before 

to joy? their   to part no more 


I have been researching this for a local choir but have all but given
up. Maybe this service will work for us? If lyrics are unavailable and
you could find who sings this song, we can order the cd and get the
words from the original but we need to be sure it is the right song
(please only from personally hearing it).

HELP!

Clarification of Question by troy_is_falling-ga on 29 May 2003 14:57 PDT

pinkfreud, please do some research for me on small tanning lamps for a
house. I want to be able to be in an air conditioned house all day and
still have a nice tan. Are there any affordable products available
that work? Tanning sprays turn me into a funny color.

The lamp should be small like a table lamp. I have no idea if there
really is anything available that works, but have read claims. Can you
please check it out for me?

$4 tip for researching this or just post the answer from your comment
addressing the original question and I will consider it answered.

I'll be glad to see what I can learn about home tanning lamps.

It would help to know the approximate cost range you want to consider.
What one person finds "affordable" might break the budget of another.

I would probably consider anything under $50-75USD and something
closer to $100 if the product is solid. I am not looking for you to
research forever for me. Even if you find that it is all a hoax let me
know!

Wow, what a leap. From hymns to tans in one question: we start with
the Son, and end with the Sun! ;-)

Each of these sites offers a selection of home tanning lamps:

HealthyTan

TheHealthStore

HeartlandTan
http://www.heartlandtan.com/facials.html

Unfortunately, you'll find that most of the products offered by the
sites above are quite pricey. The least expensive option I've seen is
the $99.95 EuroSolar Facial Lamp, sold here:

Healthy Tan
http://www.healthytan.com/es-eurosolar.htm

I would be wary of the EuroSolar, though. Another site has this to say
about it:

"The only sunlamp competition here in the U.S. - We don't offer this
sunlamp. We feel its low power is inadequate and ineffective. This
info for your reference only. This is the only competition in the U.S.
to our Sperti sunlamps. Yes, it looks good sitting on the counter,
however, they are very weak - Only 60 watts of power. We don't sell
these sunlamps because we feel that are not reasonably effective for
tanning.

We have purchased and tested this unit - they are sold under several
names and they range in price from $89 to $149. They have only four 15
watt bulbs for a total of only 60 watts. In our opinion, they are very
weak and are not very effective. These 'euro' sunlamps have only 60
watts of power, our sunlamps have 700 or 800 watts of tanning power. "

I found a Phillips sun lamp (it looks similar to the EuroSolar) at
eBay:

Also at eBay is this cheap-looking tanning lamp (if you bid on this,
notice that the shipping and handling is $22.50. Yikes.)

Another cheapie, this one at Yahoo! Auctions:

Search terms used:

"small sun lamp"
"tabletop sun lamp"
"facial sun lamp"
"small sunlamp"
"tabletop sunlamp"
"facial sunlamp"
"tanning lamp"

I hope some of this information will be useful. I'm sorry I couldn't
find better-priced options, but the market appears to be primarily in
the $200 and up range. I don't think I would trust the El Cheapo sun
lamps, considering that I would literally be risking my skin.

If anything is unclear, or if a link does not function, please request
clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before you
rate my answer.

Best wishes,
pinkfreud

Superb Research pinkfreud. Thank you.

Hello troy_is_falling,

I found a few references to the song.  It appears to have been written
by Charles Austin Miles (music) and John Bell (lyrics).  Perhaps this
will help another researcher come up with the lyrics.

This website seems to have the lyrics in Japanese
http://members3.cool.ne.jp/~promises/S-500.html

Googlenut

"Dear Spirit, Lead Me" is one of the songs on an album called "Come to
the Water / Grace Enough", offered on cassette for $9.00 here:

Anabaptist Books
http://www.anabaptistbooks.com/bookscgi/bkstore/perlshop.cgi?ACTION=enter&thispage=titles/m-ma.shtml&ORDER_ID=!ORDERID!

googlenut I really cannot make use of the japanese.

pinkfreud I have been unable to confirm that the song is the correct
one even after contacting the person who runs that website. We have
another source for obtaining the lyrics however.

I am going to post an ammendment with a new question. Please answer
with only as much research as you wish as you have already done
research for me and came closest to an answer even though it was not
what we were looking for.

Thank you very much for the five-star rating and the generous tip!
