Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna Laetitia Waring (1823-1910) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #485 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that will surely come, I do not fear to see; I ask thee for a patient mind, Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching, wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathise. 3 I ask thee for the daily strength To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life While keeping at thy side; Content to fill a little space If thou be glorified. 4 In service which thy love appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes thy children free: A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty. 5 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe’er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate, A work of lowly love to do For him on whom I wait.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #744 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; I ask thee for a present mind Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts, To keep and cultivate; A work of lowly love to do For Him on whom I wait. 5 I ask thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life While keeping at thy side; Content to fill a little space, If thou be glorified. 6 And if some things I do not ask Thou givest, Lord, to me, Then shall my spirit rise the more With grateful love to thee; Still careful, not to serve thee less, But more, and perfectly.

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: Timeless Truths #531 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 First Line: Father, I know that all my life Lyrics: 1. Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; I ask Thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes, And a heart, at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3. I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, E’er seeking some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4. Wherever in this world I am, In whatsoe’er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate, And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. 5. So I ask Thee for daily strength— To none that ask denied— And a mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6. There are briers besetting every path, Which call for constant care; There is a cross in every lot, And an earnest need for prayer; But a lowly heart that leans on Thee, Is happy everywhere. 7. In a service which Thy love appoints There are no bonds for me, For my inmost heart has learned the truth Which makes Thy children free, And a life of self-renouncing love Is a life of liberty.
