Show Me Thy Ways, O Lord

Verse 1

Show me thy ways, O Lord, and teach thy paths to me; guide thou my footsteps in thy truth, teach me to follow thee. For thou the very God of my salvation art; anew each day I look to thee, to make thine own my heart.

Verse 2

Thy tender mercies, Lord, remember thou, I pray; thy lovingkindnesses recall, for from of old are they; my youthful sins forget, as mercy is with thee; as thou art merciful and good, O Lord, remember me.

Verse 3

The Lord is good indeed, and faithful he abides; he in the way of righeousness repentant sinners guides. He teaches humble souls his justice to discern; he leadeth humble souls that they his way of life may learn.

Verse 4

All the Lord's ways arelove; he faithful is and true to those who keep his covenant, his precepts' path pursue. I wait for thee, O God; to thee, O Lord, I call; Redeemer be to Israel from their distresses all.
