[Verse]
L1: Thy | way, not mine, O | Lord, how - | ev - er dark it | be; | lead | me by thine own | hand, choose | out the path for | me. |
L2: Smooth | let it be or | rough, it | will be still the | best; | wind - | ing or straight, it | leads right | on - ward to thy | rest. |
L3: I | dare not choose my | lot; I | would not if I | might; | choose | thou for me, my | God, so | shall I walk a - | right. |
L4: The | King - dom that I | seek is | thine; so let the | way | that | leads to it be | thine, else | I must sure - ly | stray. |
L5: Take | thou my cup, and | it with | joy or sor - row | fill, | as | best to thee may | seem; choose | thou my good and | ill. |
L6: Choose | thou for me my | friends, my | sick - ness or my | health; | choose | thou my cares for | me, my | pov - er - ty or | wealth. |
L7: Not | mine, not mine, the | choice in | things or great or | small; | be | thou my guide, my | strength, my | wis - dom, and my | all. |
