Christ My Song - 1111
Oh, make me, Jesus, Saviour - With the Lowly is Wisdom
(Hannah K. Burlingham/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
With the Lowly is Wisdom.
1. Oh, make me, Jesus, Saviour,
more apt in pleasing thee;
guard thou my whole behaviour,
that, walking in thy favour,
thy will my way may be. PDF - Midi
2. Thou seest, Lord, how slowly,
e’en of thyself I learn;
oh! Saviour, meek and lowly,
when shall I know thee wholly,
and cease aside to turn?
3. Oh! for a closer cleaving,
Lord Jesus, to thy side
all other counsels leaving,
self-will and its deceiving,
vain thoughts and subtle pride.
4. Lord Jesus, be thou ever
alone before my sight:
ties nature weaves may sever;
the bands of love – no, never!
wrought, as they are, in light.
5. Oh give me grace to ponder
thy perfect, patient ways!
It wearies me to wander –
direct my footsteps yonder,
where all is love and praise!
