- 1O that the Lord would guide my ways,
- And keep me ever true!
- O that my God would grant me grace
- His will to know and do!
- 2Direct my footsteps by Thy Word,
- And make my heart sincere;
- Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
- But keep my conscience clear.
- 3Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
- A stricter watch to keep;
- And should I e'er forget Thy way,
- Restore Thy wandering sheep.
- 4Make me to walk in Thy commands;
- 'Tis a delightful road:
- Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
- Offend against my God.
- 5Amen.
