Establish Thou my ways, dear Lord,
And safety shall attend
The path my searching feet shall find
Wherever roads may bend.
Keep Thou my heart with diligence,
And sheltered shall it be
From human woes and bitterness
That nothing have of Thee.
Oh, let me well attend Thy Word
And listen every hour,
Lest vanity shall enter in
With false and vaunting power.
Thy justice I would know, dear Lord,
That through the shadows gray
Shall shine with Thy transcendent light
Unto the perfect day.
