From pray’r that asks that I may be

lyricist: Amy Carmichael
Composer: K. S. Procter

From pray’r that asks that I may be

Sheltered from winds that beat on Thee

From fearing when I should aspire

From falt’ring when I should climb high’r

From silken self

O Captain

free

Thy soldier who would follow Thee.

From subtle love of softening things

From easy choices

weakenings

(Not thus are spirits fortified

Not this way went the Crucified)

From all that dims Thy Calvary

O Lamb of God

deliver me.

Give me the love that leads the way

The faith that nothing can dismay

The hope no disappointments tire

The passion that will burn like fire

Let me not sink to be a clod:

Make me Thy fuel

O flame of God.
