1. Thou great Instructor, lest I stray, Oh! teach my erring feet thy way: Thy truth, with ever fresh delight, Shall guide my doubtful steps aright. | 2. How oft my heart's affections yield, And wander o'er the world's wide field, My roving passions, Lord, reclaim, Unite them all to fear thy name. | 3. Then, to my God, my heart and tongue, With all their power, shall raise the song: On earth thy glories I'll declare, Till heaven the immortal notes shall hear. | |
