Author: E. Burman Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my Lord, oh, teach me how to live,
To serve Thee in the darkest paths of life;
Arm me for conflict now, fresh vigour give,
And make me more than conqu'ror in the strife.
2 Teach me to live, Thy purpose to fulfil;
Bright for Thy glory let my whole life shine;
Each day renew, re-mould the stubborn will;
Closer round Thee my heart's affection twine.
3 Teach me to live! No idler let me be,
But in Thy service hand and heart employ,
Prepared to do Thy bidding cheerfully:
Be this my highest and my holiest joy.
4 Teach me to live, my daily cross to bear,
Nor murmur though I bend beneath its load:
Only be with me; let me feel Thee near;
Thy smile sheds gladness on the darkened road.
5 Teach me to live, with kindly words for all,
Wearing no cold, repulsive brow of gloom,
Waiting with cheerful patience till Thy call
Summon my spirit to its heavenly home. Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Consecration
