- 1God of my life, whose gracious power
- Through various deaths my soul hath led;
- Or turned aside the fatal hour,
- Or lifted up my sinking head:
- 2In all my ways Thy hand I own,
- Thy ruling Providence I see:
- O help me still my course to run,
- And still direct my path to Thee.
- 3Whither, O whither should I fly
- But to my loving Savior's breast?
- Secure within Thine arms to lie,
- And safe beneath Thy wings to rest!
- 4I have no skill the snare to shun,
- But Thou, O Christ, my Wisdom art!
- I ever into ruin run:
- But Thou art greater than my heart.
- 5Foolish, and impotent, and blind,
- Lead me a way I have not known;
- Bring me where I my heaven may find,
- The heaven of loving Thee alone.
- 6Enlarge my heart to make Thee room;
- Enter, and in me ever stay:
- The crooked then shall straight become;
- The darkness shall be lost in day.
