1 When thirst for power or for gold
Hath led our souls astray;
When, blind, by blinder guides we're told,
"Lo, here thou'lt find the way;"

2 Look down, O Father, from above;
Set us from error free;
Teach us to serve Thee here in love,
And find our home in Thee.

3 When faith Thy guidance humbly takes,
And seeks Thy will to do,
Clear light upon our pathway breaks,
The world to guide us through.

4 Thy spirit send, our souls to keep;
Thy wisdom make our own;
And though our way leads through the deep,
We wander not alone.
