God, only wise, almighty, good

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #CCX (1791) Lyrics: 1 God only wise, almighty, good, Send forth thy truth and light, To point us out the narrow road, And guide our steps aright: 2 To steer our dang'rous course between The rocks on either hand; And fix us in the golden mean, And bring our charge to land. 3 Made apt by thy sufficient grace To teach as taught by thee, We come to train in all thy ways Our rising progeny. 4 Their selfish will in time subdue, And mortify their pride; And lend their youth a sacred clew To find the Crucify'd! 5 We would in ev'ry step look up, By thy example taught, T' alarm their fear, excite their hope, And rectify their thought. 6 We would persuade their heart t' obey, With mildest zeal proceed; And never take the harsher way, When love will do the deed. 7 For this we ask, in faith sincere, The wisdom from above; To touch their hearts with filial fear, And pure, ingenuous love: 8 To watch their will to sense inclin'd With-hold the hurtful food; And gently bend their tender mind, And draw their souls to God.
