Ere another step I take

HYMN 28

another step I take In my wilful wandering way, Still I have a choice to make — Shall I alter while I may?

Patient love is waiting still In my Savior's heart for me; Love to bend my froward will, Love to make me really free.

Far from Him, what can I gain? Want and shame, and bondage vile — Better far to bear the pain Of His yoke a little while.

Soon I might its comfort find; Soon my thankful heart might cry, “In Thy obedient mind, As Thou walkest so would I.”

In His paths what could I lack? God's own hand my cup would fill; Hark! my Savior calls me back — Shall I turn with all my will?

Still His wisdom I may get — Learn to labor while I pray. Striving till my feet be set Firmly in the narrow way.
