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!
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.
