O that the Lord would guide my ways
 * To keep His statutes still!

O that my God would grant me grace
 * To know and do His will!

O send Thy Spirit down, to write
 * Thy law upon my heart!

Save me from falsehood and deceit,
 * Thy truth to me impart.

Order my footsteps by Thy Word,
 * And make my heart sincere;

Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
 * But keep my conscience clear.

Make me to walk in Thy commands;
 * 'Tis a delightful road;

Nor let my head, my heart, my hands,
 * Offend against my God.
