“Lead me in thy truth.” Ps. 25. 5; 5. 8; John 14. 6

1 Jesus, the Truth, the Way,
  The sure, unerring Light,
  On thee my feeble soul I’d stay,
  Which thou canst lead aright.

2 O may thy Spirit, Lord,
  Soon as the foe comes in,
  His mighty needful help afford,
  And stem the tide of sin.

3 May I from every sin,
  As from a serpent, fly;
  Abhor to touch the thing unclean,
  And rather choose to die.

4 Myself I cannot save;
  Myself I cannot keep;
  But strength in thee I fain would have,
  Whose eyelids never sleep.

5 My soul to thee alone
  I therefore now commend;
  Since Jesus, having loved his own,
  Will love them to the end.
