1 Mighty God, we humbly pray,
let your pow'r now lead the way
that in all things we may show
that we in your likeness grow.
2 Grant by guidance from above
that obedience, faith, and love
show our hearts to you are giv'n,
that our treasure is in heav'n.
3 May it in our walk be seen
that we have with Jesus been,
that as king o’er us he reigns
and unrivaled pow'r maintains.
4 That shall we in ev'ry state
soul and body dedicate
unto him who for us died,
till with him we’re glorified.
