| Text: | O that the Lord would guide my ways |
| Author: | I. Watts |
| Tune: | [O that the Lord would guide my ways] |
| Composer: | W.H. Havergal |
1 O that the Lord would guide my ways,
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace,
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.
4 Make me to walk in Thy commands;
'Tis a delightful road;
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God.
