The kingdom that I seek Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray. 3 Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. Not mine, not mine the choice, In things or great or small; Be Thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom, and my All. Amen. Used With Tune: VIA PACIS

Come with faith, bow down to God who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, God alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear his voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their Saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest.
