Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5393 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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. O send Thy Spirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart!
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar’s part.
3. From vanity turn off my eyes;
Let no corrupt design,
Nor covetous desires, arise
Within this soul of mine.
4. Order my footsteps by Thy Word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
5. My soul hath gone too far astray,
My feet too often slip;
Yet since I’ve not forgot Thy way,
Restore Thy wand’ring sheep.
6. Make me to walk in Thy commands,
’Tis a delightful road;
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God. Languages: English Tune Title: ALEXANDRIA
O That the Lord Would Guide My Ways
