Teach me, O teach me, Lord, Thy way

James Merrick • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119

Verse 1

Teach me, O teach me, Lord, Thy way; That, to my life's remotest day, By thine unerring precepts led, My feet Thy heavenly paths may tread.

Verse 2

Informed by Thee, with sacred awe My heart shall meditate Thy law; And, with celestial wisdom filled, To Thee its full obedience yield.

Verse 3

Give me to know Thy will aright, Thy will, my glory and delight; That, raised above the world, my mind In Thee its highest good may find.

Verse 4

O turn from vanity my eye; To me Thy quickening strength supply; And with Thy promised mercy cheer A heart devoted to Thy fear.
