Mighty God, to one in darkness,
Now the path of life display;
Show the way to blissful mansions,
Chase the clouds and mists away;
|: Guide, oh guide me, :|
Lest from thee again I stray.
May I see the pathway plainly,
Onward move devoid of fear;
When events in life may cross me,
Let me find deliverance near:
|: Kind protector, :|
Then for my defence appear.
Order all my future movements,
Suffer me no more to slide;
That I may be well instructed,
Lord, do thou with me abide:
|: Never leave me, :|
Nor forsake me, oh my guide.
