Our every step direct and guide, that Christ in all be glorified. 2 Christ be in work and skill, serving each other's need; Christ be in thought and will, Christ be in word and deed. Our minds be set on things above in joy and peace, in faith and love. 3 Grant us the Spirit's strength; teach us to walk his way; so bring us all at length safe to the close of day. From hour to hour sustain and bless, and let our song be thankfulness. 4 Now as the day begins, make it the best of days; take from us all our sins; guard us in all our ways. Our every step direct and guide, that Christ in all be glorified. Topics: Daily Prayer Morning; Discipleship; Jesus Christ Presence; Time Used With Tune: HOLY VINE

Yet we by faith are drawn to you and will your people prove, as on our hearts you write anew the covenant of love.

Our righteousness must far exceed

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Our righteousness must far exceed That of the Pharisees indeed; It must be of a diff'rent kind, Such as renews the heart and mind. 2 To sing and pray, and make a show, Is what the hypocrite can do; May seem to act the christian part, Yet not the cause of Christ at heart. 3 Where grace divine, reigns not within, The mind is still attach'd to sin; The best devotion, dead and cold, As was the Pharisees of old. 4 But diff'rent is the b'lievers state, He will not live at such a rate; His case unto himself is known, He pleads, no merits of his own. 5 He pleads not for self-righteousness, But all he pleads is pard'ning grade; All which he trusts he shall partake, And that alone for Jesus sake. 6 He gains that faith which works by love, And all within him live and move In Christ his Saviour, and his God, Who hath redeem'd him with his blood. 7 Here is the christian set to view: Lord grant that I may be such too; Grant me that righteousness I need, Which does the Pharisees exceed.
