Oh! That the Lord Would Guide My Ways

1OH! 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.

2O send thy Spirit down to write Thy law upon my heart;
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar's part.

3From vanity turn off my eyes;
Let no corrupt design.
Nor covetous desires, arise Within this soul of mine.

4Order my footsteps by thy word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion,
Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.

5Make me to walk in thy commands— 'Tis a delightful road;
Nor let my head, nor heart, nor hands,
Offend against my God.
