O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee

1.	O Master, let me walk with thee 
	in lowly paths of service free; 
	tell me thy secret; help me bear 
	the strain of toil, the fret of care.

2.	Help me the slow of heart to move 
	by some clear, winning word of love; 
	teach me the wayward feet to stay, 
	and guide them in the homeward way.

3.	Teach me thy patience; still with thee 
	in closer, dearer company, 
	in work that keeps faith sweet and strong, 
	in trust that triumphs over wrong;

4.	In hope that sends a shining ray 
	far down the future's broadening way, 
	in peace that only thou canst give, 
	with thee, O Master, let me live.
