With humble heart and tongue,
My God, to thee I pray;
Oh, make me learn while I am young.
How I may cleanse my way.
Make an unguarded youth
The object of thy care;
Help me to choose the way of truth,
And fly from ev'ry snare,
My heart to folly prone.
Renew by pow'r divine;
Unite it to thyself alone.
And make me wholly thine.
Oh, let thy word of grace
My warmest thoughts employ;
Be this, through all my foll'wing days.
My treasure and my joy.
To what thy laws impart.
Be my whole soul inclined;
Oh, let them dwell within my heart.
And sanctify my mind.
May thy young servant learn,
By these to cleanse his way;
And may I here the path discern
That leads to endleas day.
