Father, hear the prayer we offer Not for ease that prayer shall be But for strength that we may ever Live our lives courageously Not for ever in green pastures Do we ask our way to be But the steep and rugged pathway May we tread rejoicingly Not for ever by still waters Would we idly rest and stay But would smith the living fountains From the rocks along our way
Be our strength in hours of weakness In our wanderings be our guide Through endeavour, failure, danger Father, be thou at our side
