A Prayer

John Cennick • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 28:15

Verse 1

Be with me, Lord, where'er I go; teach me what you would have me do; suggest whate'er I think or say; direct me in the narrow way.

Verse 2

Restrain me lest I harbor pride, lest I in my own strength confide; though I am weak, show me anew I have my pow'r, my strength from you.

Verse 3

Enrich me always with your love; my kind protector ever prove; Lord, put your seal upon my heart, that I from you may not depart.

Verse 4

O may I never do my will, but yours, and only yours, fulfill; let all my time and all my ways be spend and ended to your praise.
