God, give me grace that I may be truePray, give me strength the right to do,
Oh, lead me not in errors way.
But keep me in thy paths today.
We daily need thy guiding love,
The power that cometh from above,
Our hands are poor and weak and frail,
With thee to help we cannot fail.
The paths of sin are everywhere,
But thou dost give thy tender care,
Thou knowest e’en the sparrow’s fall,
And thou wilt heed me when I call
Thou who dost lead with watchful eye
The planets through the midnight sky,
Hast ample strength and power to guide
My fragile bark o’er life’s swift tide.
