CHOOSE THOU FOR ME.

(For the Improvement Era.)

Teach me the way of life, dear Lord, And make me strong for what will be; That I may live by every word, Choose thou for me-

Though dark the lonely way and drear, My groping path I dimly see; That I may walk in thy great fear, Choose thou for me.

And when my recreant heart would lead My willing feet away from thee, And e'en though sorrow be my need, Choose thou for me.

Help me, great Sire, to be thy son,

And do thy will whate'er it be, That thou at last may say "well done," Choose thou for me. Brigham S. Young. Raymond, Canada.
