You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever (Psalm 16:11; NLT).
1. May faith, Lord,
Be my way of life,
And constant thanks
My aim.
2. May hope, Lord,
Be my way of life,
And joyousness
The same.
3. May love, Lord,
Be my way of life,
And serving you
My task.
4. May prayer, Lord,
Be my way of life,
And oneness
All I ask.
