“I will instruct thee.” Ps. 32. 8; 31. 3

1 O where shall I find a guide to direct,
  Right skilful and kind, and brave to protect?
  To lovely Mount Zion my heart is now bound,
  But many a lion is in the way found.

2 ’Tis Jesus can teach the way ye should go,
  And out his arm reach to help you on too;
  The doubts that perplex you, the fears that distress,
  The tempers that vex you, his grace can redress.

3 Then may the Lord give me faith in his name,
  A faith that will live in water and flame,
  A faith that endureth, and feasts on his blood;
  A faith that assureth my sonship with God.

4 [O teach me to love thy Person most sweet,
  Nor let my heart rove, but keep at thy feet;
  Be with thee delighted, and clasp thee and twine,
  Most firmly united to thy living Vine.

5 And further, I seek the charms of thy mind,
  The grace to be meek, and lowly, and kind;
  Forbearing, forgiving, and loving always,
  And only be living to publish thy praise.]
