My Father, This I Ask Of Thee
Knowing That Thou Wilt Grant The Plea
For This, And Only This I Pray
Strength For To-Day Just For To-Day.
Strength For Each Trial And Each Task,
What More, My Father, Should I Ask ?
Just As I Need It, Day By Day,
Strength For My Weakness — This I Pray.
I Do Not Ask A Lifted Load,
Nor For A Smooth And Thornless Road ;
Simply For Strength Enough To Bear Need
Life’s Daily Burdens Anywhere,
Strength For The Present Hour And
This Given, Then I’m Blest Indeed,
For Each Day, As It Comes, Will Bring
Sufficient Strength For Anything.
Strength For To-Day, That I May Make
Some Sad Souls Glad For Jesus’ Sake ;
Then They With Me At Eve Shall Say
Thank God For Strength He Gave To-Day.
