Oh, That the Lord Would Guide My Ways

1    Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways
    to keep his statutes still!
    Oh, that my God would grant me grace
    to know and do his will!


2    Order my footsteps by your word
    and make my heart sincere;
    let sin have no dominion, Lord,
    but keep my conscience clear.


3    Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
    a stricter watch to keep;
    and should I e'er forget your way,
    restore your wand'ring sheep.


4    Make me to walk in your commands,
    'tis a delightful road;
    nor let my head or heart or hands
    offend against my God.
