Teach Me, O Lord, Thy Holy Way

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.
