The Lord is my teacher, / I shall not lose the way.
He leadeth me in the lowly path of learning, / He prepareth a lesson for me every day; / He bringeth me to the clear fountains of instruction, / Little by little he showeth me the beauty of truth.
The world is a great book that he hath written, / He turneth the leaves for me slowly; / They are inscribed with images and letters, / He poureth light on the pictures and the words.
He taketh me by the hand to the hill-top of vision, / And my soul is glad when I perceive his meaning; / In the valley also he walketh beside me, / In the dark places he whispereth to my heart.
Even though my lesson be hard it is not hopeless, / For the Lord is patient with his slow scholar; / He will wait awhile for my weakness, / And help me to read the truth through tears.
