Father, Hear the Prayer We Offer

1 

Father, hear the prayer we offer:

not for ease that prayer shall be,

but for strength that we may ever

live our lives courageously.

2 

Not for ever by still waters

would we idly rest and stay;

but would smite the living fountains

from the rocks along our way.

3 

Be our strength in hours of weakness,

in our wanderings be our guide;

through endeavour, failure, danger,

Father, be thou at our side.

4

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.

Amen
