Words

  1. 1O 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. 2O send Thy Spirit down to write Thy law upon my heart! Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, Nor act the liar's part.
  3. 3From vanity turn off mine eyes; Let no corrupt design, Nor covetous desires arise Within this soul of mine.
  4. 4Order my footsteps by Thy Word, And make my heart sincere; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear.
  5. 5Assist my soul, too apt to stray, A stricter watch to keep; And should I e'er forget Thy way, Restore Thy wand'ring sheep.
  6. 6Make me to walk in Thy commands, 'Tis a delightful road; Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my God.
