Father, Hear the Prayer We Offer

Author: Love M. Willis Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 231 hymnals Matching Instances: 14 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 forever in green pastures Do we ask our way to be, But the steep and rugged pathway May we tread rejoicingly. 3. Not forever by still waters Would we idly, quiet stay; But would smite the living fountains From the rocks along our way. 4. Be our strength in hours of weakness, In our wanderings be our Guide; Through endeavor, failure, danger, Father, be Thou at our side. 5. 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. Used With Tune: ST. SYLVESTER Text Sources: Tiffany's Monthly Magazine, 1859 ; Hymns of the Spirit, by Samuel Longfellow & Samuel Johnson, 1864, where the text was modified considerably, probably by Longfellow
