1
Dear Lord, teach me so to trust Thee, teach me so to pray,
That trust my heart will fill, and prayer will be my stay;
My spirit unto Thee, dear Lord, I give into Thy care,
O keep my soul in readiness for Thy returning here.
2
Ah, my Jesus, thou dost know me; thou canst read my heart,
And know the earnest longing that I may ne'er depart
From Thee, beloved One for me, who on the cross hast hung,
Give Thee subdued each thought, dear Lord, and each idle tongue.
3
And keep all evil out of me, and sinner that I am,
Thou art my strength and purity, my good and loving Friend;
Thou wilt continue unto me Thy love and pardoning grace,
Until I reach the Golden City, see Thee face to face.
C
Chorus
Control my will, control my will,
O let Thy will be mine;
Control my will, control my will,
For I am wholly Thine.
