Fits tune: Breslau
(One tune to 'Take up your cross, the Saviour said')
********
Though I may seek an easy way
Come to my heart Lord, every day
Help me to turn, to follow you
Me strengthen, empower, renew
O here distracted and confused
Yet with your grace, blessings endued
Upon me, so cause me up rise
To follow truth, not stay with lies
For we accepted in you are
Heaven to us you do not bar
But forgiven now through your Son
He the redemption work has done
No other hope to rest upon
His grace avails, the only one
By whom mankind to God can come
All people, all, the total sum
Trusting all to your Spirit sure
A reality evermore
Us not unmoved, we play our part
Continue, or some new thing start
Some vision, motivation now
Be inspired, and in worship bow
Some fruit to share, some gift to give
From Christ, for He does ever live
Look Lord upon me, look and see
That I not frozen, chilly be
But choose your narrow way each day
Your love, comfort, with me alway
