[Verse 1]
The fingers are not all the same,
The Father formed us in His name;
Each one He made with purpose true,
To walk the path He leads us through.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Verse 2]
Why should we envy other men,
Or seek to be as they have been?
Our lot is ordered by Thy hand,
According to Thy wise command.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Verse 3]
If Thou withdraw Thy favour, Lord,
The foe will strike with a cruel sword.
But while Thy mercy on us stays,
Thou keepest us through all our days.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Verse 4]
If favour lifts us high in place,
We still must walk with humble grace;
For jealousy and hidden hate
May rise against the prosperous state.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Verse 5]
If one above the wise is set,
Let him not live in pride or threat;
For he who treads on others low
Shall sooner fall in shame and woe.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Verse 6]
Then let us wash in meekness pure,
That lasting favour may endure;
For pride becomes a deadly snare,
And gives the enemy entrance there.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Verse 7]
The Scripture speaks in wisdom clear:
"When pride comes, shame is ever near;
But wisdom walks with a humble soul,"
So let humility make us whole.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Verse 8]
If now we dwell in favour's light,
Let humbleness be clothed aright;
Let nothing tear that robe away,
That we may stand with Thee each day.
[Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
[Final Chorus]
O Father, keep us near Thy will,
And teach our restless hearts to be still;
Clothe us with meekness from above,
And keep us in Thy grace and love.
