My Father
this I ask of Thee;
Knowing that Thou wilt grant the plea—
For this
and only this
I pray
Strength for today—just for today.
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
Life’s daily burdens anywhere.
Strength for the present hour and need—
This given
then I’m blest indeed;
For each day
as it comes
will bring
Sufficient strength for anything.
Strength for today
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 today.
