Jesus, in My Walk and Living

Jesus

in my walk and liv­ing

Let me ev­er fol­low Thine;

Bearer of the cross

O teach me

Patiently to take up mine.

If by fel­low men des­pised

Make me like to Thee

O Christ

O’er their sins and er­rors griev­ing

And all in­ju­ries for­giv­ing.

Let Thy pre­cepts be my guid­ance

Shining on my gloo­my way;

Holding to Thy blest ex­am­ple

Who can err or go as­tray?

Thou who ful­ly didst ful­fill

For our sake Thy Fa­ther’s will

Help me so to live that nev­er

Aught from Thee my soul shall sev­er.

In my joys and in my sor­rows

Teach Thou me that per­fect faith

Which

in trust­ful pray­er per­sist­ent

Wavers not in life or death.

My will un­to Thine I yield;

With Thy Word and Spir­it filled

Let my life to Thee be giv­en:

Service here

and praise in Heav­en.

For my task

O Lord

equip me

From Thy store of rich sup­ply

That the world and all its ev­il

I may in Thy strength de­fy.

Willing

yet in bo­dy weak

I Thy safe pro­tect­ion seek;

Perfect strength in weak­ness give me

In Thy sav­ing arms re­ceive me.
