My Saviour and my Lord,
To thee I lift mine eyes;
Instruct me by thy holy Word,
And make me truly wise.

Be it my chief delight
To read this volume o’er;
To seek its Author day and night,
And love thee more and more.

May this my thoughts engage,
In each perplexing case;
Help me to feed on every page,
And grow in every grace.

O let it cleanse my heart,
And guide me all my days;
Its wonders, Lord, to me impart,
And thou shalt have the praise.
