Strength to Shun Evil

Strength for to­day

Fa­ther

strength for to­day

Strength to be ho­ly

to walk in Thy way;

Strength for the keep­ing my robes un­de­filed

Strength to be hum­ble

as seem­eth Thy child.

Strength for to­day

Fa­ther

strength for to­day;

Strength in our war against sin;

That when our ci­ty comes down from the skies

We may all en­ter in.

Strength in temp­ta­tion to turn from the snare

Strength to be con­stant and ear­nest in pray­er;

Patient in well do­ing

faith­ful in heart;

Never

O Lord

from Thy truth to de­part.

Strength for the cross­es Thou giv’st me to bear

Resting my heart on Thy fa­ther­ly care;

Trusting

al­though I may not un­der­stand;

Knowing that Thou all my go­ings hast planned.

Strength to shun evil

to cleave to the right

Strength that my rush-light burn clear­ly and bright;

Strength that I bring no re­proach on Thy name;

Looking to Je­sus

Thy pro­mise I claim.
