1 O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!

2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.

3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy ways,
Restore Thy wand'ring sheep.

4 Make me to walk in Thy commands,
A most delightful road;
Nor let my head or heart or hands
Offend against my God.
