39. Teach me, O teach me, Lord, thy Way

1 Teach me, O teach me, Lord, thy Way;
So, to my Life's remotest Day,
By thine unerring Precepts led,
My willing Feet its Paths shall tread.

2 Inform'd by Thee, with sacred Awe
My Heart shall meditate thy Law:
And, with celestial Wisdom fill'd,
To Thee entire Obedience yield.

3 Give me to know thy Words aright,
(Thy Words, my Soul's supreme Delight)
That, purg'd from Thirst of Gold, my Mind
In them its better Wealth may find.

4 O turn from Vanity mine Eye!
To me thy quick'ning Strength supply:
And with Thy promis'd Mercy chear
An Heart devoted to thy Fear.
