Verse 1
Teacher, Guide of helpless Sinners,
Us receive into thy School,
Gently lead the young Beginners,
All our Works and Thoughts orerule,
Every Appetite and Passion,
Every Sense exalt, refine,
Order all our Conversation,
Seal our Souls forever Thine.

Verse 2
Choose for Us our whole Condition,
In our Pilgrimage below,
All that stands in competition
With thy blessed Will orethrow,
Tear away the Rival Creature,
Till we fully taste and see
Good the Gift, but Thou art better,
Happiness is all in Thee.

Verse 3
What we think would bring us nigher
To Thyself, we now submit,
Every seeming good Desire
Lo! we lay it at thy Feet:
Lord our Hearts no longer faulter,
Take our costliest Sacrifice,
See our Isaac on the Altar,
At thy Word He bleeds and dies.

Verse 4
Standing to thy wise Decision
Chuse we for Ourselves no more,
With unfeign’d entire Submission
We our darling Joy restore;
Now to yonder fatal Mountain
We our dearlov’d Isaac lead,
Offering up, yet still accounting
Thou canst raise Him from the Dead.

Verse 5
From the Dead, if such thy Pleasure,
We our Isaac shall receive,
Find again our buried Treasure,
Meet on Earth in Thee to live:
Thee to taste in Every Blessing,
Joyfully on Thee to call,
Sweetly at thy Feet confessing
Thou, O GOD, art all in all!
