Jesus, My Truth, My Way

My Lord, my Truth, my Way,

[originally, Jesus, 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.
