Christian Worship The Fatherly Love Of God.

God, who is just and kind,
Will those who err instruct,
And to the paths of righteousness
Their wandering steps conduct.

The humble soul he guides,
Teaches the meek his way,
Kindness and truth he shows to all
Who his just laws obey.

Give me the tender heart
That mixes fear with love,
And lead me through whatever path
Thy wisdom shall approve.

Oh! ever keep my soul
From error, shame and guilt;
Nor suffer the fair hope to fail,
Which on thy truth is built.
