1.

Beloved Jesus, may I ever
Be hidden deep in You, I pray—
Your Word of truth, my one endeavor.
/: Instruct me, Lord, upon life’s way. :/

2.

I’ll follow You, ’gainst sin contending—
A warrior of the cross I’ll be.
Your love is true and never ending.
/: I know that You abide in me. :/

3.

I’ll not be anxious, weighed with care, Lord,
For in Your Word at rest I’ll be.
My cross I faithfully will bear, Lord.
/: With pow’r and might You strengthen me. :/

4.

Lord, I’ll be true, rest in You wholly
And walk upon the narrow way.
May I be humble, meek, and lowly,
/: So I grow more like You each day. :/
