O Master, Let me Walk with You 

O Master, let me walk with you
in lowly paths of service true;
teach me your secret, help me bear
the stress of toil, the strain of care.

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.

Teach me your patience; share with me
a closer, dearer company
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong, i
n trust that triumphs over wrong.
