LyicsWHITHER, O whither should I fly
But to my loving Father's breast!
Secure within Thine arms to lie,
And safe beneath Thy wings to rest!
In all my ways Thy hand I own,
Thy ruling providence I see;
Assist me still my course to run,
And still direct my paths to Thee.
I have no skill the snare to shun;
But Thou, O God, my wisdom art!
I ever into ruin run;
But Thou art greater than my heart.
Foolish, and impotent, and blind,
Lead me a way I have not known;
Bring me where I my heav'n may find--
The heav'n of loving Thee alone!
