Lyics

Jesus, my truth, my way,

My sure unerring light,

On thee my feeble steps I stay,

Which thou wilt guide aright.



My wisdom and my guide,

My counsellor thou art;

O let me never leave thy side,

Nor from thy paths depart.



I lift mine eyes to thee,

Thou gracious bleeding Lamb,

That I may now enlightened be,

And never put to shame.



Never will I remove

Out of thy hands my cause,

But rest in thy redeeming love,

And hang upon thy cross.



Teach me the happy art,

In all things to depend

On thee; O never, Lord depart,

But love me to the end.



Still stir me up to strive

With thee in strength divine;

And every moment, Lord, revive

This fainting soul of mine.



O make me all like thee,

Before I hence remove;

Settle, confirm and 'stablish me,

And build me up in love.



Let me thy witness live,

When sin is all destroyed;

And then my spotless soul receive,

And take me home to God.
