11638. My Savior And My Lord

1 My Savior and my Lord,
To Thee I lift mine eyes;
Instruct me by Thy holy Word,
And make me truly wise.

2 Be it my chief delight
To read this volume o’er;
To seek its author day and night,
And love Thee more and more.

3 May this my thoughts engage,
In each perplexing case;
Help me to feed on every page,
And grow in every grace.

4 O let it cleanse my heart,
And guide me all my days;
Its wonders, Lord, to me impart,
And Thou shalt have the praise.
