Verse 1

LORD, that I may learn of Thee, Give me true simplicity; Wean my soul, and keep it low. Willing Thee alone to know.

Verse 2

Let me cast my reeds aside, All that feeds my knowing pride, Not to man, but God submit, Lay my reasonings at Thy feet;

Verse 3

Of my boasted wisdom spoiled, Docile, helpless, as a child, Only seeing in Thy light, Only walking in Thy might.

Verse 4

Then infuse the teaching grace, Spirit of truth and righteousness; Knowledge, love divine, impart, Life eternal, to my heart. Amen

Background: Lord That I May Learn Of Thee
