13297. Asking Thy Care

1 Dear Savior: the battle of life is so great,
Its burdens for me are too heavy to bear;
I come, for with Thee it is never too late,
With faith and with confidence, asking Thy care.

Refrain:
Asking Thy care, asking Thy care,
With faith and with confidence,
Asking Thy care.

2 My hope is in Thee, Thou desire of my soul,
My trust and affections shall none other share;
To Thee ever coming, my life now control,
With faith and with confidence, asking Thy care. [Refrain]

3 Ah, strengthen my courage, my spirit now cheer,
Life’s pathway, so cloudy, make bright, plain and clear.
Now help me to travel, with Thee ever near,
In faith and in confidence, asking Thy care. [Refrain]
