Father, hear the prayer we offer:
Nor for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
Not forever by still waters
Would we idly, quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wand'rings be our guide;
Thro' endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side.
Let our path be bright or dreary,
Storm or sunshine be our share;
May our souls in hope unweary
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer.
By Love M. Willis
This hymn is a prayer that I am asking the Lord to help me pray. I love this song because it is so unselfish. The writer captures what the heart of a Christian should desire. The Lord is our portion and we should be quite content to let Him lead and be thankful for that whether it be hard or easy.
