“Teach me Thy way O Lord, teach me Thy way. Thy guiding grace afford, teach me Thy way! Help me to walk aright, more by faith, less by sight; lead me with heav’nly light, teach me Thy way!”

All of us should begin each day with this request to God on our lips. When Benjamin M. Ramsey sat down to write this song, I could imagine, that, he was in a place where he realized how much he needed God’s guidance, and was committed to following his way; and as we embrace the lyrics of this wonderful hymn, may we too come to realize, how much, we daily need God’s guidance, and make a commitment to following His way the rest of our lives, no matter what. “When I am sad at heart, teach me Thy way! When earthly joys depart, teach me Thy way! In hours of loneliness, in times of dire distress, in failure or success, teach me Thy way! When doubts and fears arise, teach me Thy way! When storms o’erspread the skies, teach me Thy way! Shine through the cloud and rain, through sorrow, toil, and pain; make Thou my pathway plain, teach me Thy way. Long as my life shall last, teach me Thy way! Where’er my lot be cast, teach me Thy way! Until the race is run, until the journey’s done, until the crown is won, teach me Thy way! Teach me Thy way O Lord, teach me Thy way. Thy guiding grace afford, teach me Thy way! Help me to walk aright, more by faith, less by sight; lead me with heav’nly light, teach me Thy way!”
