Hymns in Lent - Monday in Holy Week

Be it my only wisdom here,

To serve the Lord with filial fear,

With loving gratitude;

Superior sense may I display

By shunning every evil way,

And walking in the good. 

O may I still from sin depart;

A wise and understanding heart,

Jesus, to me be given!

And let me through thy Spirit know,

To glorify my God below,

And find my way to heaven.
