Words by Horatius Bonar, 1857; Music by Wes Crawford

lyrics

Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be;
Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be;
Oh lead me by thine own right hand,
Choose out the path for me.

Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight it matters not,
It leads me to thy rest.

I dare not choose my lot,
I would not if I might;
I dare not choose my lot,
I would not if I might;
But choose thou for me, O my God,
So shall I walk aright.

Take thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill;
Take thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill;
As ever best to thee may seem,
Choose thou my good and ill.

Choose thou for me my friend,
My sickness or my health;
Choose thou for me my friend,
My sickness or my health;
Choose thou my joys and cares for me,
My poverty or wealth.

Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or great or small;
Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or great or small;
Be thou my Guide, my Guard, my Strength,
My Wisdom, and my All.
