The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#244

244. Father, Hear the Prayer We Offer

1 Father, hear the prayer we offer:
Nor for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength, that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.

2 Not forever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But by steep and rugged pathways
Would we strive to climb to Thee.

3 Be our strength in hours of weakness;
In our wanderings be our guide;
Through endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side.

Amen.
