The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6542

6542. Teach Me, O Lord, Thy Holy Way

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Bless me in every task, O Lord,
Begun, continued, done for Thee;
Fulfill Thy perfect work in me;
And Thine abounding grace afford.
