LyicsWhither, oh 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 heaven may find-
The heaven of loving thee alone!
