Fix thou our steps, O Lord

Fix thou our steps, O Lord, that we stagger not at the uneven motions of the world, but steadily go on to our glorious home . . .the winds are often rough, and our own weight presses us downwards. Reach forth, O Lord, thy hand, thy saving hand, and speedily deliver us. Teach us, O Lord, to use this transitory life as pilgrims returning to their beloved home; that we may take what our journey requires, and not think of settling in a foreign country.

John Wesley
