Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1061 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer!
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
2 Not forever by still waters
Would we idly, quiet stay,
But would smit the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
3 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings, be our guide;
Through endeavor, hardship, danger,
Father, be thou at our side!
4 Ours to sow the seed in sorrow,
Thine to bid it spring and grow;
And the golden days of autumn
Will a precious harvest show.
