O LORD, I'd seek to follow
The paths where Thou dolt lead,
And ever in the pastures
Of Thine own Word to feed.
I'd seek to know Thy leading
Beside those waters still,
And under every trial
Would seek to do Thy will.
I'd have my soul restored,
And filled with heavenly bliss,
And follow where Thou leadest
In paths of righteousness.
And though through death's dark valley
My path on earth may lie,
I'd fear no form of evil,
For Thou art ever nigh.
Thy rod and staff my comfort,
I'd ever seek to prove,
And know the depth and fulness
Of Thine unchanging love.
The table Thou hast spread me,
Is filled with all I need,
My head with oil anointed,
My cup is full indeed.
Thy goodness and Thy mercy
I'd ever seek to prove,
Until at home forever
I dwell with Thee above.
