My Lord, My Truth, My Way

My Lord

my truth

my way

[originally

Je­sus

my truth

my way]

My sure

un­err­ing light

On Thee my fee­ble steps I stay

Which Thou wilt guide aright.

My wis­dom and my guide

My coun­sel­or Thou art;

O nev­er let me leave Thy side

Or from Thy paths de­part!

I lift my eyes to Thee

Thou gra­cious

bleed­ing Lamb

That I may now en­light­ened be

And nev­er put to shame.

Never will I re­move

Out of Thy hands my cause;

But rest in Thy re­deem­ing love

And hang up­on Thy cross.

Teach me the hap­py art

In all things to de­pend

On Thee; O nev­er

Lord

de­part

But love me to the end!

Still stir me up to strive

With Thee in strength di­vine;

And ev­ery mo­ment

Lord

re­vive

This faint­ing soul of mine.

Persist to save my soul

Throughout the fie­ry hour

Till I am ev­ery whit made whole

And show forth all Thy pow­er.

Through fire and wa­ter bring

Into the weal­thy place;

And teach me the new song to sing

When per­fect­ed in grace.

O make me all like Thee

Before I hence re­move!

Settle

con­firm

and stab­lish me

And build me up in love.

Let me Thy wit­ness live

When sin is all de­stroyed;

And then my spot­less soul re­ceive

And take me home to God.
