O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee

O Master, let me walk with Thee,
in lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; Help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
by some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Thy patience; Still with Thee
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only Thou canst give,
with Thee, O Master, let me live.
