Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#261

261. Shew me Thy Way

1 Shew me the way, O Lord, and make it plain;
I would obey Thy word, speak yet again;
I will not take one step until I know
Which way it is that Thou wouldst have me go.

2 O Lord, I cannot see—vouchsafe me light:
The mist bewilders me, impedes my sight:
Hold Thou my hand, and lead me by Thy side;
I dare not go alone, be Thou my Guide.

3 I will be patient, Lord, trustful and still;
I will not doubt Thy word—my hopes fulfil:
How can I perish, clinging to Thy side,
My Counsellor, my Saviour, and my Guide?
