60. Prayer for Defense and Guidance

1 To Thee I lift my soul,
In Thee my trust repose;
My God, O put me not to shame
Before triumphant foes.

2 None shall be put to shame
That humbly wait for Thee,
But those that wilfully transgress,
On them the shame shall be.

3 Show me Thy paths, O Lord,
Teach me Thy perfect way,
O guide me in Thy truth divine,
And lead me day by day.

4 For Thou art God that dust
To me salvation send,
And patiently through all the day
Upon thee I attend.

5 Recall Thy mercies, Lord,
Their tenderness untold,
And all Thy loving-kindnesses,
For they have been of old.
