67. Show Me Thy Way

1 Show me Thy way, O Lord, And make it plain:
I would obey Thy word,--Speak yet again.
I would not take one step until I know
Which way it is that Thou would'st have me go.

2 O Lord, I cannot see; Grant me Thy light;
Darkness bewilders me, Clouding my sight;
Hold Thou my hand, and keep me near Thy side;
I dare not go alone; be Thou my guide.

3 I cannot see Thy face, Yet Thou art here;
When will the morning chase My doubt and fear?
When shall I see the place where day and night
Shall come not, for Thy glory is its light?

4 I will be patient, Lord, And do Thy will;
I will not doubt Thy word, My hopes fulfil.
How can I perish, if in Thee I hide;
Jesus, my Comforter, my Hope and Guide!
