Tune: University College
('Oft in danger, oft in woe')
********
Move me, Lord, your way to know
E'en when listless feelings show
Not comfort in apathy
Settle for, but willing be
To do your will, it to see
When with self it not agree
And too in times of ease, rest
Then too find in you we blest
Where we grow not much, barren
Or life same, tedious, then
Show your light, each step ahead
We still your sheep by you fed
If discouraged, dull, dark, gloom
As if seems a lifeless tomb
Come inspire, reveal, then on
Grow in image of your Son
It not without temptation
But there no weakness, not one
That you unaware not know
You lived amidst us below
Though our path will never be
As difficult as yours, we
Seek with your grace to obey
Ever to Light's endless day
