1 Lord of my life, whose tender care
Hath led me on till now,
Here lowly at the hour of prayer,
Before Thy throne I bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for another day.

Before Thy throne I bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for another day.
2 O may I daily, hourly, strive
In heavenly grace to grow;
To Thee and to Thy glory live,
Dead else to all below;
Tread in the path my Savior trod,
Though thorny, yet the path to God!
