O that the Lord would guide our ways
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #LXXX (1789) Topics: Adoration Divine Guidance implored Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide our ways
To keep his statutes still!
O that the Lord would grant us grace
To know and do his will!
2 Since we are strangers here below,
Let not thy path be hid;
But mark the road our feet should go,
And be our constant guide.
3 Order our footsteps by thy word,
And make our hearts sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep our conscience clear.
4 Make us to walk in wisdom's way,
'Tis a delightful road;
It leads to realms of endless day,
It leads to thine abode. Languages: English
O that the Lord would guide our ways
