1.

Teach me of Your ways, dear Savior,
Your good pleasure my endeavor—
More eternal life possessing,
My life giving to bring blessing.
/: Lord, before Your face I’ll stand. :/

2.

Teach me to keep battling, praying—
Onward running, no delaying,
Quiet be when I must suffer,
My own lusts and will to offer.
/: Teach me patience, faith, and love. :/

3.

Teach me to be ready, waiting,
Meek when trials are harsh and grating,
Watchful in each situation,
That amidst the tribulation
/: I can say, “Your will be done.” :/
