LORD, teach us how to live,
Just for Thy praise;
And pleasure Thee to give,
In all our ways.
Great things we cannot do,
But Thee we love;
And we would serve Thee too,
NOW, as above.
Teach us in little things
Faithful to be;
And do what each day brings,
As unto Thee.
Those things that seem so small,
And no one sees,
Teach us in these and all,
How Thee to please.
So shall our youthful days
To Thee belong:
So shall we shew Thy praise
Our way along.
W. L.
