Father, hear the prayer we offer
1
Father, hear the prayer we offer!Not for ease that prayer shall be,But for strength that we may everLive our lives courageously.
2
Not forever by still watersWould we idly, quiet stay,But would smite the living fountainsFrom 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 autumnWill a precious harvest show.
