Thy way, not mine, O Lord - Thy Way, not Mine
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Thy Way, not Mine.

1. Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
  however dark it be!
Lead me by thine own hand,
  choose out the path for me. PDF - Midi

2. Smooth let it be or rough,
  it will be still the best;
winding or straight, it leads
  right onward to thy rest.

3. I dare not choose my lot;
  I would not, if I might:
choose thou for me, my God,
  so shall I walk aright.

4. The kingdom that i seek
  is thine; so let the way
that leads to it be thine,
  else I must surely stray.

5. Take thou my cup, and it
  with joy or sorrow fill,
as best to thee may seem;
  choose thou my good and ill.

6. Choose thou for me my friends,
  my sickness or my health;
choose thou my cares for me,
  my poverty or wealth.

7. Not mine, not mine the choice,
  in things or great or small;
be thou my guide, my strength,
  my wisdom and my all.

Horatius Bonar, Hymns of Faith and Hope I, 1878, 173-174.
