Hymns for Youth ‎#144

144. Teach Me, O Lord, Thy Holy Way

1. Teach me, O Lord, thy holy way
And give me an obedient mind,
That in thy service I may find
My soul's delight from day to day.

2. Help me, O Saviour, here to trace
The sacred footsteps thou hast trod,
And, meekly walking with my God,
To grow in goodness, truth, and grace.

3. Guard me, O Lord, that I may ne'er
Forsake the right or do the wrong;
Against temptation make me strong,
And round me spread thy sheltering care.
