|
<p>Father, I know that all my life<br>
|
|
Is portioned out for me,<br>
|
|
And the changes that are sure to come<br>
|
|
I do not fear to see;<br>
|
|
But I ask Thee for a present mind<br>
|
|
Intent on pleasing Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>I ask Thee for a thoughtful love,<br>
|
|
Through constant watching wise,<br>
|
|
To meet the glad with joyful smiles,<br>
|
|
And to wipe the weeping eyes;<br>
|
|
And a heart at leisure from itself,<br>
|
|
To soothe and sympathize.</p>
|
|
<p>I would not have the restless will<br>
|
|
That hurries to and fro,<br>
|
|
Seeking for some great thing to do<br>
|
|
Or secret thing to know;<br>
|
|
I would be treated as a child,<br>
|
|
And guided where I go.</p>
|
|
<p>Wherever in the world I am,<br>
|
|
In whatsoe’er estate,<br>
|
|
I have a fellowship with hearts<br>
|
|
To keep and cultivate;<br>
|
|
And a work of lowly love to do<br>
|
|
For the Lord on Whom I wait.</p>
|
|
<p>So I ask Thee for daily strength,<br>
|
|
To none that ask denied,<br>
|
|
And a mind to blend with outward life<br>
|
|
While keeping at Thy side;<br>
|
|
Content to fill a little space,<br>
|
|
If Thou be glorified.</p>
|
|
<p>And if some things I do not ask<br>
|
|
In my cup of blessing be,<br>
|
|
I would have my spirit filled the more<br>
|
|
With grateful love to Thee,<br>
|
|
More careful, not to serve Thee much,<br>
|
|
But to please Thee perfectly.</p>
|
|
<p>There are briers besetting every path<br>
|
|
That call for patient care;<br>
|
|
There is a cross in every lot,<br>
|
|
And an earnest need for prayer;<br>
|
|
But a lowly heart that leans on Thee<br>
|
|
Is happy anywhere.</p>
|
|
<p>In a service which Thy will appoints<br>
|
|
There are no bonds for me;<br>
|
|
For my inmost heart is taught “the truth”<br>
|
|
That makes Thy children “free.”<br>
|
|
And a life of self renouncing love<br>
|
|
Is a life of liberty.</p>
