O Teach Us More Of Thy Blest Ways

That piano is deeply etched on my mind. I think I have found it here in slightly better shape. The vocal harmonies thankfully dominate. https://youtu.be/wcWx6KrI9tM

Gregory, it could well be the very same piano !

I was singing along to this in the car and found (as I often do) myself singing different words. The KGB hymnbook often retains the original words even when the scansion is terrible. I expect the words "That we may, in a fuller way" are an amendment but the result is much much more satisfying both poetically and theologically.

Verse three is also different in some other brethren hymn books - in one book the hymn reads:-

1 O TEACH us more of Thy blest ways,
Thou holy Lamb of God!
And fix and root us in Thy grace,
As those redeemed by blood.

2 O tell us often of Thy love,
Of all Thy grief and pain;
And let our hearts with joy confess
That thence comes all our gain.

3 For this, O may we freely count
Vain things of earth but dross;
The dearest object of our love,
Apart from Thee, but loss.

4 Engrave this deeply on our hearts
With an eternal pen,
That we may, in a fuller way,
Return Thy love again.
