Teach Me Your Way, O Lord!

Music and words by Benjamin Mansell Ramsey


Teach me Your way, O Lord,
Teach me Your way!
Your guiding grace afford--
Teach me Your way!
Help me to walk aright,
More by faith, less by sight;
Lead me with heavenly light,
Teach me Your way!

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

When doubts and fears arise,
Teach me Your way!
When storm clouds fill the skies,
Teach me Your way!
Shine through the wind and rain,
Through sorrow, grief and pain;
Oh, make my pathway plain;
Teach me Your way!

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