A Prayer for Guidance

Show me the way, O Lord, And make it plain; I would obey thy word; Speak yet again. I would not take one step until I know Which way it is that thou wouldst have me go.

O Lord, I cannot see; Vouchsafe me light; The mist bewilders me, Impedes my sight; Hold thou my hand, and lead me by thy side; I dare not go alone; be thou my guide.

I cannot see thy face, Though thou art near; When will the morning chase Away my fear? When shall I see the place where day and night Exist not, for thy glory is its light?

I will be patient, Lord, Trustful and still; I will not doubt thy word; My hopes fulfill. How can I perish, clinging to thy side, My Comforter, my Father, and my Guide?
