<p>Father, hear the prayer we offer:<br>
|
|
Nor for ease that prayer shall be,<br>
|
|
But for strength, that we may ever<br>
|
|
Live our lives courageously.</p>
|
|
<p>Not forever by still waters<br>
|
|
Would we idly, quiet stay;<br>
|
|
But would smite the living fountains<br>
|
|
From the rocks along our way.</p>
|
|
<p>Be our strength in hours of weakness,<br>
|
|
In our wanderings be our Guide;<br>
|
|
Through endeavor, failure, danger,<br>
|
|
Father, be Thou at our side.</p>
|
|
<p>Let our path be bright or dreary,<br>
|
|
Storm or sunshine be our share;<br>
|
|
May our souls in hope unweary<br>
|
|
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer.</p>
