Thy way, not mine, Yahweh,
However dark it be!
Lead me by Thine own hand,
Choose out the path for me.

The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine; so let the way
That leads to it be Thine;
Else I must surely stray.

Take Thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to Thee may seem;
Choose Thou my good and ill.

Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or great or small;
Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
My Wisdom, and my All!
