LORD, when I lift my voice to Thee,

Let wisdom o’er my heart preside, To lead my steps aright, And make Thy perfect law my guide, Thy service my delight.

All sinful ways I will abhor, All evil men forsake; And only those who love Thy law My chief companions make.

Lord! that I may not go astray, Thy constant grace impart; And ever come to point my way, And seal my roving heart.
