Lord of my life! Whose tender care
Hath led me on till now,
Here lowly at the hour of prayer
Before Thy throne I bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for another day.
Oh,
may I daily, hourly, strive
In heavenly grace to grow;
To Thee and to Thy glory live,
Dead to all else below;
Tread in the path my Savior trod,
Though thorny, yet the path to God.
With prayer my humble praise I
bring
For mercies day by day;
Lord! teach my heart Thy love to
sing,
Lord! teach me how to pray;
All that I have, I am, to Thee
I offer, through eternity.

Lord of my life! Whose tender care
Hath led me on till now,
Here lowly at the hour of evening
prayer
Before Thy radiant throne I humbly
bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for this day.
Oh, may I daily, hourly, strive
In heav�nly grace to grow;
To Thee and to Thy glory ever live,
Dead to all other earthly things
below;
Tread in the path my Savior trod,
Though thorny, yet to God.
With prayers my humble praise I
bring
For mercies day by day;
Lord! teach my willing heart Thy love
to sing,
Lord! teach me now and ever how to
pray;
All that I have, I give to Thee
Through all eternity.
