94: I would not have a hand to guide

I would not have a hand to guide But Thine; For Thou hast trod where sinners stray, And knowest well life's troubled way, And mine.

I would not have a will to rule But Thine; For Thou art wise as Thou art good, And none can better choose what should Be mine.

Oh, I would tread the sorest path For Thee; For Thou canst make the roughest plain, Give joy for grief, and calm the pain For me.
