Teach me, O Lord, Thy holy way, And give me an obedient mind; That in Thy service I may find My soul’s delight from day to day. Guide me, O Savior, with Thy hand, And so control my thoughts and deeds, That I may tread the path which leads Right onward to the blessèd land. Help, me, O Savior, here to trace The sacred footsteps Thou hast trod; And, meekly walking with my God, To grow in goodness, truth and grace. Guard me, O Lord, that I may ne’er Forsake the right, or do the wrong; Against temptation make me strong, And round me spread Thy sheltering care. Bless me in every task, O Lord, Begun, continued, done for Thee; Fulfill Thy perfect work in me; And Thine abounding grace afford. |
