Wandering and Weeping

"Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book?" (Psalm 56:8).

All of my wanderings, Lord, You have seen.
My tears in Your bottle are fully contained.
All of my sorrows have taught me to lean
Completely on You and be thereby sustained.

Lead me, O Lord, on that singular path
That You have ordained for my ultimate good.
Since You redeemed me from judgment and wrath,
I know You will lead me to walk where I should.

Let now my wanderings, Lord, in the past,
Contained in Your book that You faithfully write,
Reprove and correct me to follow at last
Your will, turning not to the left or the right.
