O Master, let me walk with Thee

O Master, let me walk with Thee,
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee
In closer, dearer, company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broadening way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.

O God, let your humble servant walk with Thee, without Your guidance, Your company, there are no reason to keep on living. Help my unbelief, guide my wayward feet, guide them to be patient and follow Your ways. Keep me closer, dearer to You, nourish me with faith, smeared by the sweet and strong smell of Jesus' blood. Grant me assurance of Your might, teach me to be joyful in hope, holding on to Your promise and linger near my God of Peace, my Master, for good.
