Savior, select my pathway

Savior

select my pathway;

Choose it

dear Lord

for me.

My own desire I’d gainsay;

Only Thy will I’d see.

Unto Thine ordination

However hard it be

I’d offer glad submission

Seeking what pleases Thee.

May Thou uphold my hand

Lord;

Thou all my weakness know.

Else I can but be sad

Lord

Uncertain how to go.

If Thou uphold my hand

Lord

Whatever path Thou chart

Whatever time or plan

Lord

’Tis sweetness to my heart.

Level or rough the path

Lord

If it’s Thy choice for me

My full consent it hath

Lord;

No other way I’d see.

I dare not choose my way

Lord

Though Thou grant liberty;

Come Thou

my path select

Lord—

I wait for words from Thee.

My time is Thine to use

Lord

No matter fast or slow.

What brings Thee joy

do choose

Lord;

I would no preference show.

If destined for endurance

For many years or days

I would not seek swift clearance

Of obstacles Thou place.

Fill all my life remaining

Howe’er it pleases Thee;

Sorrow or joy containing

I’d let Thee reign in me.

Every distress is precious

If it’s Thy will for me;

Every delight’s obnoxious

If not Thy gift to me.

Choose Thou my path

dear Master;

Through sickness

health

support

Through falling tears or laughter

Evil or good report.

Though great or small each dealing

My choice I would refuse.

I’d reject all my feeling

Only Thy glory choose.
