Author: Love M. Willis; Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #144 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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 for ever by still waters
Would we idly, quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
3 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wand'rings be our guide;
Thro' endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side.
4 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.
Amen. Topics: Prayer Petitions Scripture: Exodus 15:27 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER
