Be with me, Lord, where’er I go

From Oremus Hymnal

Be with me, Lord, where'er I go;
teach me what thou wouldst have me do;
suggest whate'er I think or say;
direct me in the narrow way.

Work in me, lest I harbour pride,
lest I in my own strength confide;
show me my weakness, let me see
I have my power, my all, from thee.

Assist and teach me how to pray;
incline my nature to obey;
what thou abhorrest let me flee,
and only love what pleases thee.
