1) Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
however dark it be;
lead me by thine own hand,
choose out the path for me.
2) Smooth let it be or rough,
it will be still the best;
winding or straight, it leads
right onward to thy rest.
3) I dare not choose my lot;
I would not if I might:
choose thou for me, my God,
so shall I walk aright.
4) The kingdom that I seek
is thine, so let the way
that leads to it be thine,
else I must surely stray.
5) Take thou my cup, and it
with joy or sorrow fill,
as best to thee may seem;
choose thou my good and ill.
6) Choose thou for me my friends,
my sickness or my health;
choose thou my cares for me,
my poverty or wealth.
7) Not mine, not mine, the choice
in things or great or small;
be thou my guide, my strength,
my wisdom, and my all.
