THE SOUL COMMITTING ITSELF TO GOD.
Lighten mine eyes, that I may read
Thy will where'er I be,
And from each passing hour receive
A message, Lord, from Thee.
Thy will where'er I be,
And from each passing hour receive
A message, Lord, from Thee.
Lead me to seek, with patient prayer,
Thy counsel for my stay,
And look to Thee to guide my steps
In Thine appointed way;
With glad and grateful heart accept
The work Thy wisdom wills,
And bless the hand that all in love
My cup of sorrow fills.
Thy counsel for my stay,
And look to Thee to guide my steps
In Thine appointed way;
With glad and grateful heart accept
The work Thy wisdom wills,
And bless the hand that all in love
My cup of sorrow fills.
Show me the path that I should take,
What heart to cheer or bless,
Even as I would ask of Thee
For comfort in distress;
Content to share in others' joys,
And if this may not be,
Still happy that my chequered lot
Was chosen, Lord, by Thee.
What heart to cheer or bless,

Content to share in others' joys,
And if this may not be,
