I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
Author: Adelaide A. Procter Hymnal: The Methodist Hymnal #542 (1905) Languages: English Tune Title: ORONO
I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
I Do Not Ask, O Lord
Author: Adelaide Procter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2768 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be Lyrics: 1. I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road;
I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me
Aught of its load.
2. I do not ask that flowers should always spring
Beneath my feet;
I know too well the poison and the sting
Of things too sweet.
3. For one thing, only Lord, dear Lord, I plead:
Lead me aright,
Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed,
Through peace to light.
4. I do not ask, O Lord, that Thou shouldst shed
Full radiance here
Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread
Without a fear.
5. I do not ask my cross to understand,
My way to see;
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand,
And follow Thee.
6. Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
Like quiet night:
Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine,
Through peace to light. Languages: English Tune Title: ORONO
I Do Not Ask, O Lord
