Jesu, my Truth, my Way, My sure, unerring light, On thee my feeble steps I stay, Which thou wilt guide aright. My Wisdom and my guide, My Counsellor thou art; O never let me leave thy side, Or from thy paths depart!
I lift my eyes to thee, Thou gracious, bleeding Lamb, That I may now enlightened be, And never put to shame.
Never will I remove Out of thy hands my cause; But rest in thy redeeming love, And hang upon thy cross.
Teach me the happy art In all things to depend On thee; O never, Lord, depart, But love me to the end!
Still stir me up to strive With thee in strength divine; And every moment, Lord, revive This fainting soul of mine.
Persist to save my soul Throughout the fiery hour, Till I am every whit made whole, And show forth all thy power.
Through fire and water bring Into the wealthy place; And teach me the new song to sing, When perfected in grace.
O make me all like thee, Before I hence remove! Settle, confirm, and stablish me, And build me up in love.
Let me thy witness live, When sin is all destroyed; And then my spotless soul receive, And take me home to God.
