Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Tell me, dear Lord, in thine own way I pray, What thou would’st have me say and do today. Teach me to know and love thy will, O Lord; Help me to understand thy loving word.
2. I would be guided by thy loving hand; Would hear thy voice, obey thy blest command. Each moment just to know that thou art near Will strength impart and banish ev’ry fear.
