Lyrics

Teach me Thy way, O Lord,
Teach me Thy way!
Thy guid­ing grace af­ford,
Teach me Thy way!
Help me to walk aright,
More by faith, less by sight;
Lead me with heav’n­ly light,
Teach me Thy way!

When I am sad at heart,
Teach me Thy way!
When earth­ly joys de­part,
Teach me Thy way!
In hours of lone­li­ness,
In times of dire dis­tress,
In fail­ure or suc­cess,
Teach me Thy way!

When doubts and fears arise,
Teach me Thy way!
When storms o’er­spread the skies,
Teach me Thy way!
Shine through the cloud and rain,
Through sor­row, toil and pain;
Make Thou my path­way plain,
Teach me Thy way!

Long as my life shall last,
Teach me Thy way!
Where’er my lot be cast,
Teach me Thy way!
Until the race is run,
Until the jour­ney’s done,
Until the crown is won,
Teach me Thy way!
