Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Submission; God Guide; Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord, How ever dark it be! Lead me by thine own hand, Choose out the path for me; Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to thy rest. 2 The kingdom that I seek Is thine; so let the way That leads to it be thine, Else I must surely stray. I dare not choose my lot; I would not if I might: Choose thou for me, my God, So shall I walk aright. 3 Take thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill As best to thee may seem; Choose thou my good and ill. Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small; Be thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom, and my All. Scripture: Romans 6:13 Used With Tune: INVITATION

Unite my soul to Thee! Amen. Used With Tune: SWANWICK

Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

Author: M. M. W. Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Guide Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, faithful Guide, Ever near the Christian's side; Gently lead us by the hand, Pilgrims in a desert land; Weary souls for e'er rejoice, When they hear that sweetest voice, Whisper softly, "Wand'rer, come! Follow me, I'll guide thee home." 2 Ever present, truest friend, Ever near thine aid to lend, Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear; When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er, Whisper softly, "Wand'rer, come! Follow me, I'll guide thee home." 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heaven and prayer, Wond'ring if our names are there; Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading nought but Jesus' blood, Whisper softly, "Wand'rer, come! Follow me, I'll guide thee home." Used With Tune: GUIDE
