Teach Me Thy Will, O Lord (Weekly Hymn Project)

Today's hymn is "Teach Me Thy Will, O Lord". I was getting a little distracted by the title, thinking of just the line reminding me about seeking to do God's will like Jesus in the garden praying "not My will but Thine be done"; and then reminded that that is just the first verse. All four verses start with "Teach me..." which reminded me of the Psalms and how often the psalmist sought for God to teach him (Psalm 24:4-5, 86:11, and 119:33 to name a few). This is a good hymn to sing like a prayer.
Lyrics:
Teach me Thy will, O Lord,
Teach me Thy Way;
Teach me to know Thy word,
Teach me to pray.
Whate'er Seems best to Thee,
That be my earnest plea,
So that Thou drawest me
Closer each day.
Teach me Thy wondrous grace,
Boundless and free;
Lord, let Thy blessed face
Shine upon me.
Heal Thou sin's every smart,
Dwell Thou within my heart;
Grant that I never part,
Saviour, from Thee.
Teach me by pain Thy power,
Teach me by love;
Teach me to know, each hour,
Thou art above.
Teach me as seemeth best
In Thee to find sweet rest;
Leaning upon Thy breast,
All doubt remove.
Teach Thou my lips to sing,
My heart to praise;
Be Thou my Lord and King
Through all my days.
Teach Thou my soul to cry,
"Be Thou, dear Saviour, nigh,
Teach me to live, to die,
Saved by Thy grace."
Amen

I wanted to thank you for this. I'm preaching at a church that only sings hymns and I have no idea what they are supposed to sound like. This is a massive aid to my ministry. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this song. I was looking through my hymnal and I knew this song but as I said read the notes they didn’t match the tune I remembered. I checked online and found your version. It’s exactly as written in my handbook and I love it a lot. Thank you
