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