The New Praiseworthy ‎#119

119. Teach Me Thy Will, O Lord

1 Teach me Thy will, O Lord,
Teach me Thy way;
Teach me to know Thy word,
Teach me to pray.
Whate'er seems best to Thee,
That be my earnest plea,
So that Thou drawest me
Closer each day.

2 Teach me Thy wondrous grace,
Boundless and free;
Lord, let Thy blessed face
Shine upon me.
Heal Thou sin's ev'ry smart,
Dwell Thou within my heart;
Grant that I never part,
Savior, from Thee.

3 Teach me by pain Thy pow'r,
Teach me by love;
Teach me to know, each hour
Thou art above.
Teach me as seemeth best
In Thee to find sweet rest;
Leaning upon Thy breast,
All doubt remove.

4 Teach Thou my lips to sing,
My heart to praise;
Be Thou my Lord and King
Thro' all my days.
Teach Thou my soul to cry,
"Be Thou, dear Savior, nigh,
Teach me to live, to die,
Saved by Thy grace."
