In pity, look on me my God,

Show Thy wonderful love to me;

Forbid that I should plan my life,

Thou art the One who plans for me;

My Father, lead me here on earth,

Let me, Thy great salvation find.

Oh do not let me choose for me,

For Thou, my portion ever art;

Oh do that which Thou has ordained

For me, in Thy great heart of love.

Lord, who can know Thy beginning,

Thou Lord of glory, good and kind;

Thou hast with Thee a thousand ways

When I have not yet thought out one.

As far and high as is the heaven,

So are Thy thoughts higher than mine;

Lead me, that I may follow Thee,

In the way of Thy righteousness.
