Offering
Direct, O Lord, my suppliant eyes,
And guide my prayer aright,
That every word to Thee may rise
Like incense in Thy sight.
My morning offering receive;
And so, through all my days,
Until my life's declining eve,
A sacrifice of praise.
That I may measure speech, O Lord,
And value silence more,
Set Thou upon my lips a guard,
And at my mouth a door.
Let not the rebel heart betray
The tongue's appointed use,
Or make it run the evil way
Of malice and excuse.
And guide my prayer aright,
That every word to Thee may rise
Like incense in Thy sight.
My morning offering receive;
And so, through all my days,
Until my life's declining eve,
A sacrifice of praise.
That I may measure speech, O Lord,
And value silence more,
Set Thou upon my lips a guard,
And at my mouth a door.
Let not the rebel heart betray
The tongue's appointed use,
Or make it run the evil way
Of malice and excuse.
