Slow to an­ger, full of kind­ness,
Rich in mer­cy, Lord, Thou art,
Wash me in Thy heal­ing fount­ain,
Take away my sin­ful heart.

Refrain

I would go the pil­grim’s jour­ney,
Onward to the pro­mised land;
I would reach the gold­en ci­ty,
There to join the an­gel band.

Thou wilt ne­ver, ne­ver leave me,
If I give my­self to Thee,
Teach, O teach me how to praise Thee,
Tell me what my life should be.

Refrain

May Thy ev­er gra­cious Spir­it,
Lead me in the way of truth,
May I learn the voice of wis­dom,
In the ear­ly days of youth.

Refrain

O! how sweet to rest con­fid­ing,
On Thy Word that can­not fail,
Strong in Thee, what­e’er my tri­als,
Through Thy grace I must pre­vail.
