Teach us, ¤Lord, our days to num¤ber,
That our ¤hearts we may ap¤ply
Un¤to ¤wis¤dom, ev¤er seek¤ing
Christ our Lord to glo¤ri¤fy.

Chorus:
Teach us, ¤Lord, to walk in wis¤dom,
While our ¤days are speed¤ing past;
Grant that ¤we may bear Thine im¤age
Till we reach our home at last.

Teach us, ¤Lord, our days to num¤ber,
Short and ¤brief life’s long¤est span:
Make us ¤wise with heav’n¤ly wis¤dom,
Do¤ing good while yet we can.

Teach us, ¤Lord, our days to num¤ber,
Wake our ¤souls to right¤eous¤ness;
Save us ¤from things seen and tem¤p’ral,
Thou, our source of life and bliss.

Teach us, ¤Lord, our days to num¤ber,
May we ¤spend them one and all
In Thy ¤serv¤ice, watch¤ing, wait¤ing,
Till we hear the fi¤nal call.
