The way, not mine, O Lord

1.

The way, not mine, O Lord

However, dark it be

Lead me by Thine own hand

Choose out the path for me

2.

Smooth let it be or rough

It will be still the best

Winding or straight, it leads

Right onward to Thy rest

3.

I dare not choose my lot

I woulf not, if I might

Choose Thou for me, my God

So shall I walk aright

4.

The kingdom that I seek

Is Thine so let the way

That leads to it be Thine

Else I must surely stray

5.

Take Thou my cup, and it

With joy or sorrow fill

As best to Thee may seem

Choose Thou my good and ill

6.

Not mine, not mine the choice

In things or great or small

Be Thou my Guide, my strength

My wisdom, and my All
