354. Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways

1 Oh, 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!

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

3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep:
And, should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wand'ring sheep.

4 Make me to walk in Thy commands;
'Tis a delightful road:
Nor let my lips, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God.
