Guide me, Lord, o'er paths you've chosen:
Set for me to walk within.
Not to right nor left digress me;
Keep me from presumptuous sin.
Make me neither poor nor wealthy;
Take far from me lies and fame,
Lest I say, "My God, who needs you?"
Or defile your holy name.
You are righteous, Lord, and upright
Are your judgments. Judge me, then,
That I might be more like Jesus:
Sanctified and freed from sin.
Teach me, Father, how to trust you,
How to not depend on man.
Lead me, God, and daily show me
How I fit into your plan.
Make your Word a lantern for me
While above are darkened skies.
Light my heart until the day dawn
And the Day Star in me rise.
