THY WAY, NOT MINE.

THY way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be; Lead me by thine own hand, Choose out the path for me.
Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it matters not, It leads me to thy rest.
I dare not choose my lot; I would not if I might; Choose thou for me, my God, So shall I walk aright.
The kingdom that I seek Is thine; so let the way That leads to it be thine, Else I must surely stray.
Choose thou for me my friends, My sickness, or my health; Choose thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth.
Not mine, not mine the choice, In things of great or small; Be thou my guide, my strength, My wisdom and my all.
