Give me strength ...

Give Me Strength

 

This is my prayer to thee, my lord---strike,

strike at the root of penury in my heart.

 

Give me the strength

lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.

 

Give me the strength

to make my love fruitful in service.

 

Give me the strength

never to disown the poor

or bend my knees before insolent might.

 

Give me the strength to raise my mind

high above daily trifles.

 

And give me the strength

to surrender my strength to thy will with love.
