Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #591 (1908) First Line: Father, hear the prayer we offer! 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 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, hardships, 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. Topics: Living His Life Loyalty to Christ Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKWELL
