1. Thy way, not mine, 0 Lord.
However dark it be!
Lead me by Thine own hand,
Choose out the path for me.
2 The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine; so let the way
That leads to it be Thine;
Else I must surely stray.
3 Take Thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill
As best to Thee may seem;
Choose Thou my good and ill.
4 Not mine, not mine the choice
In all things great or small:
Be Thou my guide, my strength,
My wisdom and my all!
