Father, hear the prayer we offer
Not for ease that prayer shall be
But for strength, that we may ever
Live our lives courageously
Not for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be
But by steep and rugged pathways
Would we strive to climb to Thee
Not for ever by still waters
Would we idly quiet stay
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way
| |
Be our strength in hours of weakness
In our wanderings be our Guide
Through endeavour, failure, danger
Father, be Thou at our side
Let our path be bright or dreary
Storm or sunshine be our share
May our souls, in hope unweary
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer
|
