Guide My Ways Lyrics

O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!

O send Thy Spirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart!
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit
Nor act the liar's part

O guide my ways
O grant me grace

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

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

O guide my ways
O grant me grace

My soul hath gone too far astray
My feet too often slip
Yet since I've not forgot Thy way
Restore Thy wand'ring sheep

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

O guide my ways
O grant me grace
