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

Order my footsteps by your Word
And make my heart sincere
Let sin have no dominion, Lord
But keep my conscience clear

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

Make me to walk in your commands
'Tis a delightful road
Nor let my head or heart or hands
Offend against my God
