O that the Lord would guide my ways
1
O that the Lord would guide my waysTo keep his statutes still!O that my God would grant me graceTo know and do his will!
2
O send thy Spirit down to writeThy 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 designNor covetous desires ariseWithin 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
Make me to walk in thy commands,'Tis a delightful road;Nor let my head, nor heart, nor handsOffend against my God.
