7. Thy Way, Not Mine

1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be!
Lead me by Thine own hand,
Choose out my path for me.

Refrain:
Lead me,
Lead me,
Choose out my path for me,
Lead me,
Lead me,
Choose out my path for me.

2 Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best,
Winding or straight it leads
Right onward to my rest. [Refrain]

3 I dare not choose my lot,
I would not if I might:
Choose thou for me, my God,
So shall I walk aright. [Refrain]

4 Not mine, not mine the choice,
In all things great or small,
Be thou my guide, my strength,
My wisdom and my all. [Refrain]
