Turning to you, progressing on life\'s way
You Lord our Saviour here from day to day
Through all life\'s journey you will be our guide
Your Spirit in our hearts He does reside
So on through thick and thin, your purposes show
To us, that we more in your image grow
If heavy heart or mind, grant us your light
Clear away the darkness so that our sight
Is set on you, focused here and aligned
Finding your help, your mercies true and kind
Going forth, sharing, to evangelise
Reaching forth unto you, Christ our high prize
Attuned to you, may outward things not spoil
Communion with you, nor distracts* foil (* distractions)
Us, as we press on steadily ahead
Following you, and by your Spirit led
What be your will, your plan for us today?
Teach us to know it, joyfully obey
Spirit of God, rise up within our hearts
And daily fill us here in all our parts
Expressing praise, worship, and thanksgiving
Melodious voices unto you sing
Great God of all, we saved through Christ you Son
For each of us full salvation has won
